Help reading occupation

[Jill on the A272]

At last I've found great granny in 1891, surname mis-spelled as Burniss when it should be Burnip.

Could someone help me out with her employers occupation please?


Methodist ????? ???????? Minister

[Joan of Archives]

Methodist ? Commission Minister?

Son wants the laptop back so that's me gone until tomorrow, but thanks for looking.

[JayG]

Methodist ? Commission Minister

The 2nd word looks like it starts with a N or M

[JayG]

After a closer look I think it's Methodist New Connexion Minister

[Just Gillian]

I think the second word is definitely New, looking at Needlewoman further down the page.

Could the third word be Communion?

[Uncle John]

After a closer look I think it's Methodist New Connexion Minister

Definitely. Methodist New Connexion was one of many strands of Methodism which came together in the first half of the 20th. century.

Thankyou everybody, its obvious now! The whole family became very keen Methodists, (we still have a lay preacher & minister in the family) so that may have been the origin as her parent were C of E.
