Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 3 Send Message	I'm looking for an ancestor who emigrated from Devon, but all I know is that he trained to be a minister in about 1880. Is there a register for people who trained at this time? I've been told that Crockfords contains current clergy, but didn't know if it went back this far. Help please!

	Crockfords Clerical index appears to start from 1858. I did find a site which gives a little information about where records can be found on www.lhrinfo.ac.uk/gh/clergy.htm but you may find more if you put it into the search engine.
