Odsal had a class in the Methodist society and membership is known for the years 1797, 1799, 1800 and 1801. There was a single class under the leadership of Jonas Lightowlers in both years. On the original lists Odsal was written as "Hodsel", and in 1800 it was described as "near Wibsey".

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 only four separate 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 records only give a name and surname.
