added 1892-1894 TW-Lowe-eb
Years listed are approximate era of existence, a plus (+) sign expects additional earlier or later years active (but unknown for certain). Sources are primarily old assembly address lists including 1904, 1927, 1936, 1943, and 1948-present (OB) and various 1870's-present (EB, TW, etc.). If an assembly was previously known by other names, these have been listed, along with years most well known as such. Corrections and revisions coveted, and the assemblies are sorted by geography (closest city, area, etc.)
See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). PP indicates a preaching point, or a residing brother or sister without a meeting.
The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.
