Church News May 2020
Fiskerton Parish News May 2020 Vicar’s Blog: Vicars Blog May 2020 First of all, I hope that everyone is doing as well as possible in these ‘stretching’ times. It is a tough period in our history but one in which I think we are beginning to discover more about ourselves. As I write this, I think we are about to head into Week 5 of lockdown, although frankly I am not too sure what month we are in nor what day it is! My hair is getting longer and beginning to look like the head of a mop; my bedtimes are getting earlier and my dining room has turned into a cross between a chapel and a film studio, as services have been transmitted via Facebook Live and then onto Youtube. Frankly, I find seeing and hearing myself on screen excruciating, but I do know that it is helpful for some folk to see a familiar face and also to have fixed points in their day and week for worship. Last time I wrote for the Village Newsletters I spoke of Wells and not Walls – the point was that this is a time for creating wells. Wells of kindness and compassion, wells of communication – wells that we can draw from when the landscape is running dry. That still applies to all of us, and whether we are shielded and confined to home, or whether we are able to run errands for people being a ‘well’ is what most people need right now. It has been so wonderful that so many people in all our villages have volunteered to help with shopping and prescriptions and to deal with so many different tasks and to keep an eye out for their neighbours; so wonderful that we are ‘Clapping for Carers’ and at last celebrating the work of those who care for the most vulnerable members of our communities; so wonderful that we are beginning to understand who our Essential Workers really are; so wonderful to know that the wheels of our way of life have been keep going by an army of ‘backroom’ people who no-one ever sees, but have kept transport moving, water flowing, electricity buzzing, gas working and the internet going so we can work from home. -

History of the Welles Family in England
HISTORY OFHE T WELLES F AMILY IN E NGLAND; WITH T HEIR DERIVATION IN THIS COUNTRY FROM GOVERNOR THOMAS WELLES, OF CONNECTICUT. By A LBERT WELLES, PRESIDENT O P THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OP HERALDRY AND GENBALOGICAL REGISTRY OP NEW YORK. (ASSISTED B Y H. H. CLEMENTS, ESQ.) BJHttl)n a account of tljt Wu\\t% JFamtlg fn fHassssacIjusrtta, By H ENRY WINTHROP SARGENT, OP B OSTON. BOSTON: P RESS OF JOHN WILSON AND SON. 1874. II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.
