scb_custodial_history Very little information survives relating to individuals appointed by the Colonial/Commonwealth Missionary Society. There is no register of missionaries giving biographical information, and no list of those appointed by the Society. The main source of information on appointments is the published annual reports of the CMS, which list individuals by mission station.
