The Wesleyan Methodist Circuit for Great Yarmouth and district was created in 1792 from the earlier circuit centered on the city of Norwich. The circuit covered not only the port itself but also a great deal of eastern Norfolk and adjacent Suffolk including as far south as the neighbouring port of Lowestoft. The Circuit was administered from the Wesleyan chapel in Dene Side in Great Yarmouth. Records of baptism commence from 1791, a few were back-dated after the circuit was created. Two registers cover the period of this transcript, the first, deposited with The National Archives as their deposit RG4/1974, is a plain unruled book, the register is held on film MF1158 at Norfolk Record Office but also digitised images are available on some of the major commercial sites for those with appropriate subscriptions. The second book has a similar style to a standard parish baptismal register but lacks the employment column, it too is filmed on film MF1733 which was used to prepare that portion of the transcript, it is a 1660-entry book. Those familiar with Methodist Circuit registers will recognise the usual difficulties, irregular date sequence, phonetic spelling and frequent loss of normal data, e,g lack of a complete date, children apparently baptised before born, lack or a surname or even a given name. The quality of clerical standard is rather varied from perfectly acceptable through to the downright nasty, a few misreads could be present as a consequence.
