Notes
i) MA and BD degrees are displayed after Anglin's name in the Walkington directories. It is elsewhere stated that he studied at the University of Glasgow, but the facts are not known. ii) In the Walkington directory of United Church ministers, both Anglin and Joseph S. MacKay are shown as the minister at Millerton in 1925-26. Both may have supplied during that year.
