England Nonconformists Inghamites (National Institute)

Inghamites
This was a small group founded by Benjamin Ingham, whose wife, Lady Margaret Hastings, was the sister-in-law of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon later to feature in Methodism. Ingham’s group started as a break-away from the Moravians in 1754 and were popular in Lancashire and Yorkshire, having similar beliefs to the Methodists. They became influenced by the Scottish Sandemanian sect and some followers left, the remainder combined with the Daleites of Scotland in 1814. Eight registers were deposited in 1840 and are at the PRO. There are more than 20 items on the FamilySearch Catalog including:


 * Tadcaster Inghamite Church, Yorkshire births, baptisms and deaths 1763-1836 on.


 * Pear Tree Inghamite, Kendal, Westmorland baptisms 1754-1837 on with an index on.
