Helen -

The Countess of Huntingdon Connexion is still extant.

The address of The Secretary is, I believe, still 69 Jubilee Road,
Middleton, Lancs. M24 2LT.

The Countess declared herself a Dissenter in 1781 under the Toleration Act
after a couple of law suits in the Ecclesiastical Court brought by my 4th gr
grandfather, Rev William Sellon, Perpetual Curate of St. James, Clerkenwell.

Yours aye. Andrew. East Anglia, U.K.

"By constant practise and iron determination Mr.Boots of Ripon became the
only man who made his nose and chin meet" ..... Rev. Sydney Smith, Canon of
St. Paul's.
