The list of LDS luminaries who walked these streets before us is long and impressive. Within the mission boundaries are the birthplaces of John Taylor (Milnthorpe), B. H. Roberts (Warrington), George Q. Cannon (Liverpool), and John Longden (Oldham). Furthermore, the work of the British Mission (from which the EMM was created in 1976) has been directed by numerous men who either were or later served as General Authorities, including seven who would become presidents of the Church. As we delve into historical accounts of their labours, it becomes obvious that the tests and trials they endured here helped prepare them to sit in the leading councils of the Church. In the 1830's, during the difficult days of Kirtland and Missouri, the newly-restored Church was struggling for survival. Internal strife, disunity among leaders, apostasy, and financial problems were some of the challenges faced by the Prophet Joseph Smith. In the midst of these troubles, Joseph later wrote, "God revealed to me that something new must be done for the salvation of the Church." The bold, almost all-or-nothing solution, inspired of God, was to send some of the most capable men in the Church to Great Britain as missionaries.

The author is pleased to be informed of errors and omissions, alternative interpretations of the early families, additional information for consideration for future updates. She can be contacted at [email protected] DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • A History of Morgan County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    610 square miles, more than 90 percent of which is privately owned. Situated within the Wasatch Mountains, its boundaries defined by mountain ridges, Morgan Countyhas been celebrated for its alpine setting. Weber Can- yon and the Weber River traverse the fertile Morgan Valley; and it was the lush vegetation of the pristine valley that prompted the first white settlers in 1855 to carve a road to it through Devils Gate in lower Weber Canyon. Morgan has a rich historical legacy. It has served as a corridor in the West, used by both Native Americans and early trappers. Indian tribes often camped in the valley, even long after it was settled by Mormon pioneers. The southern part of the county was part of the famed Hastings Cutoff, made notorious by the Donner party but also used by Mormon pioneers, Johnston's Army, California gold seekers, and other early travelers. Morgan is still part of main routes of traffic, including the railroad and utility lines that provide service throughout the West. Long known as an agricultural county, the area now also serves residents who commute to employment in Wasatch Front cities.
