Methodist Church Records - Paddington

Other than LDS maybe, would somewhere be the christening/baptism? records of
the United Methodist Free Church, Queens Rd Chapel, Paddington for 1895 to
say 1920 ?
I cannot find on PRO site or web-search.
I'm trying to trace forward the side of my family deliberately written out
by an event in 1909.
The passed down written record is false. Wrong names and dates for this one
person then bogus names given for his children (or emigrated) - I cannot
find either of the apparent rare named births in the GRO. I have the birth
certificate and then marriage certificate for him in 1895 at this Paddington
church and the rest of the family were strong Methodist. I cannot trace
either him or his wife in the 1901 census. So the next search maybe
emigration but he had to be in England in 1909.

Got a reply back from Westminster archives, may as well
go public for anyone else

Thank you for your e-mail of 14 February asking about the location of the
baptism registers of the United Methodist Free Church, Queen's Road Chapel.
You are correct in saying that Queen's Road, London W2 changed its name to
Queensway in the late 1930's.

As you have already discovered from our web-site, information sheet number
2, we do not have the registers of this chapel. Unfortunately, I do not
know where they are, but I wonder if they might be in the London
starting point to explore. You have discovered that the chapel was opened
as a Catholic church in 1954, so perhaps the Methodists from that place
joined forces with another Methodist church in the area.

At one point there used to be a Methodist Church Records Liaison Officer
based in Birmingham, but I have not had any contact with her for many years.
I searched web-search under "Methodist Church records", hoping to track down the
current officer and contact details, but instead got lots of references to
Methodist records held at other record offices throughout the country. It
reminded me that there is a Methodist archive centre at John Rylands
University Library in Manchester, but if I remember rightly (having worked
in another section of JRUL over 20 years ago) it has records of connexions,
but not registers as such. They might, however, be able to suggest a quick
way of finding out where the registers are held. Another reference thrown
to
that if you have not already done so, as they are putting lots of
genealogical records on-line.

I am sorry I have been unable to come up with anything more definite, but I
hope you manage to track them down.

Two pionts:-
a) Don't forget, Queens Road is now Queensway
b) Certainly by 1914, and probably before then, the Church, originally
"Wesleyan", had ceased to function as such and had been succeeded by the
"West London Ethical Society"
