Wood Street Presbyterian Church, Dublin

History of the Presbyterian Churches in the City of Dublin by Rev James Armstrong, 1829, page 68 and A history of Presbyterianism in Dublin and the south and west of Ireland by Rev Clarke H Irwin, 1890, page 313 both say that Charnock was minister of the above congregation. The latter cites The Nonconformist's Memorial by Edmund Calamy, Vol 1, P 208. However, that work only says that he served in Dublin and does not mention Wood St. Richard L. Greaves, ‘Charnock, Stephen (1628–1680)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 accessed 4 Dec 2016 says "By July [1655] he was in Dublin, where Fleetwood and the council appointed him one of the ministers for a weekly Monday lecture. When Thomas Wilkinson was transferred to St Catherine's, Charnock took his place at St Werburgh's, and shortly thereafter he succeeded Thomas Harrison at St John's, when Harrison was assigned to Christ Church on 8 September 1655. Occasionally Charnock preached at St Patrick's and St Catherine's, and he helped examine ministerial candidates. Like that of most other Independents in Ireland, his ministry was essentially confined to English troops and civilian administrators." Vestiges of Protestant Dissent: Being Lists of Ministers by George Eyre Evans, 1897, PP 287-8 starts the list of ministers with Samuel Marsden in 1662?. I had added a succession box for Wood St Presbyterian to Charnock's article based on the first two sources, but in light of the others I am inclined to remove it. Thoughts?
