FOREWORD The compiler of this book had lived beyond the three score and ten years alloted to man before he paid any attention or interest to learn of those of his father's family. He knew that he had a father named Storke. and a grandfather whose spelling of his name differed from his own in the elimination of the final ,. e." There then fell under his glance an old letter, written by his fa­ ther's oldest brother, which stated that when he left New York State his father had two brothers residing in Chenango County. New York. Shortly afterward the writer, while on a visit to New York State. met Mrs. Addie L. Stork Dodge, of Oxford, Chenango County. N. Y .• a descendant of one of these brothers. Her residence in the vicinity where the early day members of the Stork family had lived and her continued and unfailing interest in the family have been invaluable. The compiler was thus started on an inquiry that resulted in two small pamphlets which dealt only with Moses Stork and his family. Largely through Donald Lines Jacobus. the publisher of the New Haven Genealogist, he gathered the matter contained in these pamph­ lets. There were many errors and omissions in these first two pamph­ lets but they served their purpose of awakening in the -Storke family a desire to know more of their kin. Of course no genealogy will ever be complete. Men keep on dying and children still are born. They grow into manhood and have children of their own. This book has broadened the field. The -Storks in Canada: have come into the record and the Storkes in Virginia have been discovered. Numerous branches of the family, hitherto unknown, have been in­ cluded and it is hoped this work mag serve as a foundation for the gathering of more information on members of the family beyond the eight generations recorded here. The compiler has at this time ar­ ranged for research among the old records of The Yorkshire Parish Register Society and in the document files of Somerset House, Lon­ don, England, with the hope that discoveries mag be made which will reveal the history of the first of the Storke name in England and from whence they came. The English Storkes came largely from Scarborough and Flam­ borough Head, and from Hull and York in Yorkshire, England. The fight between John Paul Jones and the English occurred on September 23. 1779. Jones came to grips with the English boats with­ in sight of Flamborough Head, Yorkshire. The writer has in his possession several early day references on Yorkshire which furnish many details of interest. During the Seventeenth Century the inhabitants of Scarborough. Yorkshire~ were protected by ordinance. In those days laws were made and enforced for the giving of just weight and honest work- II FOREWORD manship. A baker selling loaves of bread below the standard weight had one of the offending loaves hung around his neck for public ex­ hibition. They had their ale taster who sampled and reported cases of unjust measure or .inferior quality. There were also leather search­ ers who examined boots and shoes to see if there were any of inferior quality. On one occasion in the old town market fifty pairs were con­ demned. nineteen of which were offered for sale from Scarborough. In the period between 1644 and 1669 there are to be found in the records of Bridlington. Yorkshire. the following entries: .. Given to a power woman which was destracted 6d "Paid for caring a sick shoulder in a carte, ]/- ..Paid to 2 men and women spent by fire, 1 /- "Paid for whipping 2 women I/- .. Paid to Dorothy Milner for 2 fatt piges 2/4 "For a Ducking Chare, wood. iron and workmanship. 19 /8." These were the times when Bunyan was writing the Pilgrim's Progress, Samuel Pepys was writing his Diary. John Milton was writ­ ing Paradise Lost. and Newton was discovering the Law of Gravita­ tion and London was afflicted with the Great Fire. In April, 1667. the Dutch fl,eet raided the English coast from Flamborough Head to Scar­ borough. It was in such times and scenes that the forebears of the Starkes lived in Yorkshire. England. and from which in 1667 William Storke sailed for the Colony of Virginia taking with him twelve persons for whose transportation he received a grant of land from Governor Wil­ liam Berkeley. It was in such times and scenes that the father and grandfather of Captain Moses Stork lived and from which he sailed his vessel to Connecticut in the New England Colonies in 1745. there to marry and found the family now in its eighth generation in the United States. It was in these same times and scenes that the descendants of John Stork remained in Yorkshire until about 1850 when two of his descendants came to make their homes in Canada. The designs for the cover and title pages of this volume are the work of Miss Margaret Ely Webb of Santa Barbara, California. whose work in other fields has been much commended and to her the compiler wishes to express his appreciation of her interest in this work. In preparing the Starke Book as it is now printed. the compiler has had excellent assistance from a multitude of its friends. too numerous to be given at length. But it will not be invidious to mention Mrs. Jennie Stork Hill of Edmonton, Alberta. Canada. whose assistance in preparing the portion/ of this book which has especial reference to Canada has been of great value. In truth that portion of this book could not have been completed without her willing assistance. Miss Gertrude Stork of Bridlington. Yorkshire, England. must also receive especial praise. She was a willing worker and obtained much of the FOREWORD III data which this book contains of those who are now resident in the old home in Yorkshire, England. Her search of old Parish and Town records in Yorkshire has added much to the material contained in this book. The illustrations included here are in many cases old family pictures, treasured by their owners, who permitted their reproduction for the interest of other members of the family. The compiler desires to thank all who so generously loaned photographs and also is deeply indebted to those who have searched town and cemetery records and who have added much material on persons other than members of their own families. This book is sent out as a contribution to the various members o! the Storke family wherever located throughout the world. It is to be hoped that other members of the family will take up the~ work where the compiler lays it down, carry it forward to later gen-­ erations and delve into past history as far as it is. possible to do so. C. A. STORKE. Santa Barbara. California June 1, 1935. SECTION I THE STORKE FAMILY IN VIRGINIA The Storke Family in Virginia The name Storke first appears in the historic annals of America :in the State of Virginia in the Land Book 5, page 56 at Richmond, Va., as follows: "24 Sept., 1667, Gov.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • COVID-19 Advice on Ordinations
    COVID-19 Advice on Ordinations Issue Date Version Issued by 9th June 2020 1 The House of Bishops Recovery Group The Recovery Group has been set up to support the Church of England as government guidance changes through the COVID-19 pandemic. This document has been prepared with information available by the issue date and is for planning purposes only until present restrictions are lifted. It will be kept under review and updated as the situation develops, with each update issued as a new version. The current version will always be available to download from the Church of England website via the Coronavirus FAQs page. Choosing dates for ordinations in 2020 1. Ordinations are understood to be intentionally public occasions, even if tickets are used to control numbers in modern times. They should therefore take place only when public worship in churches and cathedrals is permitted and when and where it is safe for them to take place. 2. Recent practice in the Church of England is for most ordinations to be scheduled for Petertide or Michaelmas, although those are only two of the options envisaged by Canon C 3. Any Sunday, holy day, or Ember Day will suffice.1 It is envisaged that, in 2020, public worship may resume from 4 July at the earliest (the feast of Peter and Paul being on 29 June). Given that this is not a certain date, and the Government may need to delay the start of “Stage 3” of the relaxation of the lockdown arrangements, and sufficient time is needed to ensure the ordination services are appropriately planned, Michaelmas seems the earliest practical date, with All Saints the most sensible alternative.

  • Funeral Eucharist
    Funeral Eucharist in celebration of the life of 20 June 1930 – 29 December 2020 Thursday 21 January 2021 Noon Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we extend a warm welcome to this Cathedral Church and ask God’s blessing on you. In this Epiphany season of thanksgiving for gifts of revelation, light and glory, we come together to give thanks for the glory of life and of eternal life in Jesus Christ. We rejoice that eternal life is now, in the present, and continues beyond death, and will lead to extraordinary Resurrection Life – love beyond our imagining. And we come together to rejoice and give thanks for the gift given to us in the life of Bishop John Waine, who is embraced now in that light and glory of life beyond life. As we console one another in our loss, we give thanks for Bishop John’s passion for life, his love for his family, his prayerful devotion and strong faith, his deep humanity, and his tangible love for those around him as colleagues and friends. Bishop John had an extraordinary breadth of vision for the whole of society and the way in which the whole church – not just the Church of England – is called to serve the communities in which it is set. More than half of Bishop John’s life was in episcopal orders, and he was hugely loved by clergy and laity alike as he sought to help them understand vocation, a sense of belonging, and how we relate to each other, to the world and its peoples, and to God.

  • Joint Statement from Ipswich Christian Leaders- Final
    Joint Statement from Christian leaders in Ipswich in response to the killing of George Floyd Friday 5th June 2020 The killing of George Floyd was a tragic act of violence that has revealed that racial injustices, amongst many other prejudices, are still present throughout society. George Floyd was denied the fundamental right to life, and his killing is an insult to the God-given dignity of every human being. George Floyd’s death has provoked anger across the world and we, as church leaders in Suffolk, join with those who call for justice. Many people in our community face racial discrimination every day. This discrimination, expressed in many forms, all too often goes unchecked. We must unite to call out racism wherever we see it and hold one another accountable for our words and actions. We reaffirm our commitment to eradicating all forms of racism in all parts of society because every human life is precious and honoured by God. We ask you to join us to shine as lights in the darkness, to uncover the forces of prejudice and discrimination that still divide our community. Signatories: 1. Pastor Harold Afflu (Lead Pastor, Ipswich International Church, Elim) 2. The Rt Revd Martin Seeley (Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Church of England) 3.
