Many of the Non-conformist records unfortunately no longer exist and in looking
through the list of records held by Gloucestershire Archives there is non for the
United Methodist circuit Ruspidge.

I noticed the following in the Gloucestershire Archives, Genealogical handlist,
but maybe this practice changed in later years:

The Baptists did not practise infant baptism, so baptismal registers will
consist of adult entries. However, for some chapels, birth registers only are
held here.
