Methodist Society Members 1790-1797: Norwood Green
 

Norwood Green had a class in the Methodist society and membership is known from 1790 to 1797. This class may have been connected with the society at Witchfield in Shelf, the 1792 list states that the Norwood Green class “belongs [to] Witchfield” along with another class at Blackmires. It may have joined with Witchfield after the Chapel was built there in 1785. Edward Whitley seems to have been the leader of the class throughout these five years, although this is only noted on the 1794 and 1795 lists. 

The table here is extracted from entries in the books of the Methodist Society in Bradford Archives. The unlined and unnumbered pages carry the information of all the local societies in the Bradford area and sometimes beyond. The book gives the state of class membership for five separate years over seven years. A grey cell means that person is listed as being amongst the membership for that particular year. 

There are wide variations in the spelling of names in these books. We have standardised the names here but spelling variations are listed under the 'Notes' column. The listings were usually made in June. The earlier records give the most information about members while the latter years just give name and surname.
