Custodial History:

These records were deposited with Hull City Archives at the Hull History Centre in Sep 2018 by Mr Michael Leonard-Williams of Plymouth, Devon and his co depositors; Mr John Scott & Mrs Lucy Shields. All are descendants of Avison Terry. Mr Leonard-Williams has transcribed most of the letters in C DFTF/1-6 (C SRL/T/46) and is keen that they can be accessed by anyone interested in studying the development of the church in Hull and the rest of Yorkshire as well as the Evangelical movement during the 18th and 19th centuries. The collection could also be useful in telling us more about merchant family relationships in Hull as well as helping to shed light on the many battles for social reform and philanthropic causes that took place during this time, including William Wilberforce's campaign to end slavery.
