Little Bay Islands (Notre Dame Bay) Methodist Records

What follows is a list of all Pike entries in the Methodist records from Little Bay Islands that are held at PANL as of May 2007. This list constitutes a typescript of my handwritten extraction from photocopies of the original records, which is to say that I may have inadvertantly introduced some errors while transcribing and typing... as always, you should double-check against the original records. That said, if you spot any mistakes that I have made, please let me know at dapike@mun.ca. Additional Pike entries from other Newfoundland church records can also be found on my website.

Some comments about this list:

The entries below are in the same order as presented in the church records, which may not be in chronological order.
Unless I mistakenly overlooked an entry or two, this is a complete list of all Pike entries (except maybe for marriages in the 2nd part of the Little Bay Islands marriage register).
Also included are entries where a Pike was a sponsor or witness.

At PANL these records are in volumes as follows:

Baptisms: 1867 - 1942, 1883 - 1911, 1948 - 1964
Marriages: 1883 - 1911, 1911 - 1930, 1948 - 1962, 1962 - 1967, 1867 - 1942
Burials: 1867 - 1942, 1883 - 1911, 1949 - 1964

Some of these volumes appear to be for Little Bay Islands and others for the Little Bay Circuit, which is where most of the Pike entries were found. The 1867-1942 marriage register (for Little Bay Islands) has two volumes, with the first covering up to about 1901; given the lack of Pike entries in the first volume, I skipped the second volume.
