Methodist Minister - Knottingly c1880 ish

I am trying to find out any information about a Rev. John Burgess who was a Methodist Minister in the Knottingly area some time in the mid 1800's. He is not a relative but found my Great Great Grandfather on the steps of the Church and took him in, naming him George Smith. What happened to George after this is patchy but he ended up in Hull, working on the docks (I think)
Any info would be greatly appreciated
