Its leader, William Pratt, was often called "Bishop" during this period; was this a ward or was he only acting bishop?

assertion #4020236 by bplewe on 2024-06-30: confidence 80%.

is a(n): dependent branch?   (started: 26 Sep 1875, ended: between Jan 1876 and Mar 1876)

It is possible that Clifton had no organization during this short period, or perhaps Oxford became dependent on Clifton.
