Methodist records consist mainly of baptism and marriage records. Baptism records show the child’s name, parents, and birth date and place. Marriage records show the names of the bride and groom, and the marriage date and place. Occasionally a circuit minute book or vestry book was kept.

Methodists were usually buried in Church of Ireland cemeteries, and their burial records kept in Church of Ireland registers.
