Great project. For singers at High Street Baptist Church (Boston, Lincs), start by pinning dates and roles for William Adkin Andrew (as given, 1809–1975) and any household members; double-check the death year in civil indexes just in case. Church sources: minute books, church meeting notes, membership rolls, choir or “psalmody” lists, organ/choir fund subscriptions, and anniversary or tea-meeting programs; ask the current church if older records were deposited. Archives: Lincolnshire Archives and the State Library catalogue for “High Street Baptist Boston” and “psalmody/choir”. Newspapers: British Newspaper Archive for concert adverts, anniversary services, obituary mentions, and eisteddfod-style reports; search by “psalmody”, “sacred concert”, “choir”, and the surname. Music ID: when pages are damaged, capture the first incipit (first 3–5 words or first 4–8 notes), any tune names (“Old Hundredth”, “Mear”, “St. Anne”), meter (C.M., L.M., 7s), and attributions; cross-reference in Hymnary and 19th-century tune collections. West Gallery angle: compare your titles/incipits to WGMA tune lists and local chapel books; copy any fuguing entries and note parts (T C A B). Preservation: air-dry gently, interleave with acid-free paper, photograph in raking light, and transcribe before handling again. If you post a few clear photos of contents and the hand, people can help resolve titles and dates quickly.
