Port Hope Meeting Room, ON

In 1857, Joseph Medlicott Scriven relocated from Clinton, ON to Bewdley, which is near Port Hope. He joined the household of a retired naval officer named Robert Lamport Pengelly, as a tutor, presumably for his children. While here, Scriven became engaged to Pengelly's niece, Eliza Catherine Roach, who became ill and died in August 1860. In the late 1860's or early 1870's, he left the Pengelly residence for a cottage in Port Hope, where he remained until his death in 1886.

This assembly was founded in 1839, and affiliated with the Exclusive brethren, and its building was razed in 1879, but the assembly existed thru 1894, also, and continued until 1909 when it became affiliated with the TW's (or split), which remained active thru 1944.
