Hello Diane,
There's a list of Methodist Publications and their dates on the Methodist Archives site at this page
https://rylibweb.man.ac.uk/data1/dg/m.../methguid.html
There were a number of Methodist Boarding Schools to which people might have sent their children but not particularly to make them preachers. They were sometimes used by ministers to give their children a consistant education because they moved so often.
Mary.

Snap Mary! Now it's my turn to say that I missed that link! I'll have a read and find out what's there.
Perhaps Stephen told his Father at an early age, that he would like to be a Methodist Minister, so he possibly went to one of the Schools? His Papa was quite well-to-do and could afford it ...... the only one who had any dosh!
If I can find Stephen anywhere, I'll let you know.Good luck with your research everybody!

Hi Mary,
I've just found Stephen in the 1861 Census.
I must have had a sike-kic (can't spell that word!) flash yesterday, as he is Assistant Master to Wesleyan Local Preacher, (John Pryce JONES) in Oswestry .
It's a School with 16 Pupil Boarders, so I got the pupil bit wrong then!Good luck with your research everybody!

Hi Mary,
Oh, that's how you spell it! Trouble is, it won't 'stay' in my brain, so I gave up trying ...... my friends all know that I've got a block with this word!Good luck with your research everybody!

Thanks so much for that information - there were some things I did not know before.

Hi Mary,
I've just popped in to give you an update on my Stephen, (I've been doing some gardening today and chatting on the phone!)
He certainly flits about, as I found him in 1871, living at Scout Road Wesleyan Chapel & School, Sowerby, Halifax, with his unmarried sister, Ruth. I was pleased to find out that he has passed his *test* and is now a Wesleyan Minister!Good luck with your research everybody!

Hi Mary,
He's got to be a pupil at the School! I will do my best to obtain a copy of the census page, so will have a look at Shropshire FHS to see if they can get me one? Anyway, the transcription from Family History Online, says that Stephen Forest aged 10, is living in Oswestry Town, so it looks good!Good luck with your research everybody!
