This is a social examination of Mormon converts in Manchester from 1838 to 1860. The converts were usually young, there were more men than women, and many were single. Most members had at least one other family member in the Church, though converts were alienated from their families. Most were newcomers to the city, due to the economic changes taking place at the time. The author reaches several other interesting conclusions about the nature of these Mormons, including whether they stayed in the Church. Decline in membership after 1852 came because of the exodus of large numbers, and because of a decrease in baptisms due to the public announcement of plural marriage.
