* (BC): Bible Church: These are churches that are evangelical in nature, but with fewer recognizable traits or distinctives in being associated (in that era) with the Brethren movement, and a majority of its constituency may be unaware of its background. These are included if there is verifiable link to a Brethren background, whether of the church itself, or a mother church that supported its plant.
* (EB): a generic term belonging to the Exclusive (and/or closed) Brethren, but prior to various nameable splits.
* (TW): Tunbridge Wells "careful" brethren network that split 1908-1909 from Natural History Hall and/or Reading and/or Park St. TW-N (Nepean) refers to a majority remnant group that stayed with the "old paths" in a North American split initiated in 1992, which in 2004 split two directions, with TW-NE (Embassy West) being the majority, and TW-NFR (Falaise Road) being the othermostly Maritimes and some U.S. TW TW-NS is an undated (Shrewsbury) was also a 1986 split from , and actually should be TW-NS as it predates the Nepean-Perth split. TW-P (Perth) refers to those from the original (1992) departure from TW-N, which are essentially OB with TW roots.
* (KLC) is a catch-all for what was originally identified as "Kelly Brethren", but includes Lowe, Continental, and sometimes Glanton and other branches that have merged.
* (PBCC): Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, an Exclusive network led (in order) by F.E. Raven, James Taylor Sr., James Taylor Jr., James H. Symington, John S. Hales, and presently Bruce D. Hales.
* If a link is in RED, no page has been developed for the assembly yet, and history is forthcoming, D.V. If it is in BLUE, there is additional data. Hyperlinks are generally reserved for the last known name of the assembly (with inclusion of former names with years known as).
* Years listed are approximate (where known or theorized). Sources include assembly address lists, ministry magazines, oral testimony, etc. A plus sign suggests future years (or past) to be verified. "2019 2016+ thru 2020+" indicates presumed present existenceunless otherwise noted, and present years in bold print are reserved for churches with continued (definite) Brethren association. Lacking a plus sign in either direction indicates known beginning or end dates. * Years with a slash may indicate what year Gospel work initiated, with the subsequent being the year the assembly first broke bread. Some start dates in bold suggest further research, or highlight special accolades. +1878 suggests (but not yet known) earlier start date but records unavailable, welcoming needing further research.
