Hi again Chris,

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!

I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!

On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!

Best wishes,

Hi again Chris,

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the England Project. I do not seem to have had a response from you from the recent England Project check in.

If I do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks I will presume that you wish to leave the project. If you leave us, I hope that you will want to re-join us sometime in the future. You can do this by responding to our G2G post. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1516540/is-2023-your-year-to-join-the-england-project

Best regards Maddy,

England Project Leaders

Hi Chris

Harry page Ned was my grandfather i remember your lovely mum and dad and playing at your house as a child also I stayed at your mums place I think in dover

Hello Chris. Your very recent post regarding your Withy ancestor prompts this post.

Your ancestor was the younger brother of my great grandfather Edward Withy. Edward was the founder of the Withy side of the shipping company Furness Withy in Hartlepool. He does not show in the 1861 Census where your ancestor was in Bristol with his mother Sarah and other family members. The reason is he was by then at age 17 a marine architect apprentice in Stockton-on-Tees. He was the oldest sibling and others in the family including your ancestor and Henry (who retired from Furnace Withy in 1918) followed him. Edward moved to Hartlepool as the Tees River at Stockton was becoming silted and the centre of ship-building moved. I have the model steam engine that Edward made as an apprenticeship requirement, and could forward a photo by email if you are interested. My email is [email address removed] You as a vicar may be interested to know the christian DNA is alive in this non-conformist branch of the family as I am scheduled to preach Sunday. We attend a community church and descend through the Quaker stream (Edward and Albert attended Quaker Schools) via Methodism. Edward married a Free Methodist and swapped stables. In those days the Quaker Door shut behind you when you did that. Enough for now but I would be delighted to connect (from New Zealand), and learn more about you and yours. We appear to be of similar age and interests. (Edward emigrated in 1884 and brought his large family here, most of which are Kiwis.)

Dear Chris,

On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!

I'd also like to share our annual Newsletter with you. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading a bit about what has gone on in 2022 and what our Project has achieved.

The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members every 6 months just to make sure everything is going well. There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to change your team choices or provide other feedback). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.

On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.

Hi Chris,

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.

If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

Many thanks!

Hi Chris!

I hope you're keeping well. I'm fine here and still enjoying retirement (even in these global pandemic times).

If I recall correctly, some time ago you told me that you could not see any connection between the Orme family who migrated to Australia (William Wheeley Orme and Amelia 'Elizabeth' Jeffrey/Jeffery) and your Orme family.

I see that you recently made some changes to the Australian Orme family - for which I'm grateful to you - and I am wondering whether or not you have still found no link(s)?

Cheers Daryl Murphy

Hi Chris

I would to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.

As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.

Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?

Hi Chris,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Lizzie, Amy, Joan

I fully support and agree to the nine simple rules. I am a full-time vicar in Leeds and I don't have a great deal of free time but have been enjoying working on my family tree for about three years. I am encouraged on my way by my father-in-law, who is something of an expert. I would love to join this community and colaborate on quality genealogical research.
