I understand the SFHS holds some Primitive Methodist Registers for the Minsterley Circuit 1850-1886 (NM3038/4/1A) and the PM Baptism Registers 1850-1886 (NM4111/2/1-3). Are these documents readily available without a visit to the centre? In general, it would appear that a Primitive Methodist Preacher, RIchard Davies, bc 1804 Worthen parish to Edward and Elizabeth Davies would be the brother to my G-G-Grandmother Ann Davies bc 1808 Worthen. Ann Davies was married to John Purslow, my GGGfather, who was buried at the PM chapel at the Grove. John was a miner but I have reason to believe he was also a PM lay preacher. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Shropshire FHS don't hold the PM Registers, they are in Shropshire Archives and now available online via subscription site FindMyPast.
