for some attributions. If you know more, and preferably have a bit of 
evidence then let me know and I'll add them.
A link then appears in the method references:
https://complib.org/method/17167#method-view-e
Method Attributions             Henry Law James

I've also added a collection having entries for methods giving links from 
a method to the first peal composition for the method (in CompLib), and a 
link to all the Felstead peals recorded for that method.
https://complib.org/collection/11136
Felstead Peals in a Method Database     14538   Lincolnshire Surprise 
Major

There's also another collection, Felstead Peal Database, which has entries 
for compositions, categorised by first peal in method, first peal of 
composition and record length, and links to the CCCBR page for the record 
and the Felstead peal record.

First peal in method

Record peal

Lindoff 
Page 174        047-B3C         28512 Bristol Surprise Major by Brian D 
Price

Ideally in CompLib the Felstead peal id could be an equivalent to 
BellBoard ID, so could be used directly in the performance section of 
compositions or collections.
