Jollie and Sons of Carlisle printed this Cumberland Guide and Directory 'containing a Descriptive Tour through the County, and a List of Persons in Public and Private Situations in every Principal Place in the County'.

It includes this list of the premiums awarded by the society in a wide range of categories from 1805 to 1810. SMITH. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Daughters of Wesleyan Methodist preachers

Wesleyan Methodist preachers on trial

Wesleyan Methodist preachers' widows
(1809-1810)
The Wesleyan Methodist church's Merciful Fund provided annuities for preachers' widows, as well as other payments to retired clergy, widows and other dependants in need. These are listed in the annual minutes. Particularly useful is the fact that, after a widow remarried, her first married surname and her new surname were both given.SMITH.

Wesleyan Methodist preachers' wives
(1809-1810)
Wives of Wesleyan Methodist ministers were supported by the church, either centrally or through the local congregations: lists of wives were therefore printed in the annual minutes. Unfortunately, the ladies' Christian names are never given; where it is necessary to distinguish between wives of ministers with the same surnames, the husbands' Christian names are given. The S. preceding each name signifies 'Sister'. Examining these lists is nevertheless a good way to trace approximate dates of marriage for a minister, and approximate dates of death of wives that predeceased them.
