Sarah Wesley

[2] Sarah's mother had been unenthusiastic about her husband's interest in the evangelical revival that was taking place, but she was happy to see Charles Wesley become her son-in-law.

[1] Charles and Sarah were married in 1749 at the small and lonely parish church at Llanlleonfel near Garth, which is 6 miles (10 km) west of Builth Wells.

[3] The marriage was conducted by John Wesley, who had encouraged the union and guaranteed his brother an income of £100 per annum from book sales to reassure the Gwynne family of Charles financial position.

This reassurance contrasted with the £600 a year that her mother had as her private income when she married Marmaduke Gwynne.

[4] In September 1749 the Wesleys moved into 4 Charles Street in Bristol which remained their main residence until 1771.

[4] Wesley took her own line on her religion and continued to attend the Calvinist church of George Whitefield who she would have met as a child when he stayed at her father's house.
