Very many thanks
Sounds like a non-main stream Methodist family.
Who are very hard to trace !

No not Methodists. The Storers of Berkeley Court Clerkenwell through most of the 18th century were baptised at St. James Clerkenwell but then the generation of George Storer's father appear to have been drawn to the Countess of Huntingdon and it was St. James that caused her to secede from the C of E. The Storers were certainly Calvinists and may have Huguenot origins but no evidence. The family was also linked to Olney close to Emberton of John Newton and William Cowper fame where George's grandfather is buried. George was a member of the Vestry at Emberton and was buried in the churchyard there with his first wife Anne who died in 1861. The Latin inscription translated states "Here lies George Storer lately of London Merchant and Citizen. He moved from Emberton in 1863 and amongst his possessions which were auctioned were his silversmith's tools.

Hi Margaret,

Welcome to the Forum.

Many thanks for adding this extra information, it's very much appreciated and we hope to hear more from you in the future.
