As the chapel is still open for worship John, they are the best people to contact to find out what records they have and where they are kept. You can track down more ways to explore people associated with a chapel here, or an active Methodist person here.
This is not a comment as such, but I am tracing my family history for a G.G Grandmother who lived at 11 Rosa Street (before they were demolished) and her children, all brought up as methodists. I would be very interested if any possible records exist for baptisms, marriages and deaths for any with the Surname of Wadge.

My husband John Tatham went to this chapel when a babe in arms and was christened there. His father also John Tatham was a lay preacher. He was a council worker who went over the handlebars of his bicycle. Commemorative chairs in his memory were lost because of the fire at the chapel. John’s elder brother Thomas Wilkinson pumped up the bellows for the organ.
