The first record we have of John Munro is his marriage to Martha Keen, in Kenilworth, during 1813. He was a stonemason and probably drawn to the area by the prospect of work. (The local quarry was an excellent source of red stones.)
METHODISTS
He and Martha attended some of the more charismatic services being held in independent churches. They probably trekked the dozen or so miles into Warwick, and the Brook Street Chapel, many times before deciding to baptize 15-month-old John and his recently born sister Mary. That was done July 15th 1819. Jane (who grew up to marry Leslie Mills) was five months old when she was christened in 1822.
There’s no record of the Mills at Brook Street Chapel after that. They may attended some of the Methodist meetings being held by circuit preachers.
Martha Mills was a widow by 1841.
