Bagshaw, J

Family

I have not been able to identify J Bagshaw in online records. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Philip Thornborow has identified a couple of references to a John Bagshaw in Petty and Northern Primitive Methodism, John Bagshaw and William Morris were potters, originally from the Stoke on Trent area, and associated with Bourne and Clowes, who had moved to Newcastle upon Tyne for work, and were carrying out evangelising work. They were instrumental in inviting William Clowes to visit Newcastle upon Tyne, which he did in 1822, preaching in the open-air at Ballast Hills.

That John Bagshaw had been baptised on 17 December 1786 at St James, Newchapel, Stoke on Trent. His parents were John and Ann. He died on 9 March 1850. There is an obituary that I have not accessed published in the Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury.
