In 'Darwen and its people' by J.G. Shaw, p.33 and 34: "Richard [Smalley] ("Young Parson Smalley") was born in 1760 ..

Research Note

In 'Darwen and its people' by J.G. Shaw, p. 34 and 35. "He [Richard Smalley] was elected Minister of Lower Chapel on his father's death in 1791, but a large section of the congregation were strongly opposed to his election, and a secession took place which resulted in the building of Pole Lane Chapel, opened on the 6th of May 1793. Richard was only a minister for a little over twelve months. My father used to say that he was a rollicking young gentleman, educated for the ministry, but not fitted in any way for his calling."
