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

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If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members.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!
Elizabeth, England Project Leader
My apologies. I am thinking of applying for pre-1500 certification. This is why i joined the project initially . Ian Speed was my trainer and is willing to support my application. I’ve just been dithering about applying as life has been hectic . So in brief, I think I want to apply now for pre-1500 certification. If my claim is rejected and they tell me I need to do more service on a Project team, then I’ll get back in touch. Many thanks David

Please could you say where you found the picture of Sir James Parker Vice-Chancellor that you photo'd and posted here in February. We had asked Lincoln's Inn if they had a picture of him and they couln't find one. Many thanks. Bernard.
I dug out the photo you refer to (from his original research notes) and it has the following written on the back by Bernard's wife (also an academic, and a co-author of Here Be Forebears); "Sir James Parker, Robed as Vice-Chancellor'. Unfortunately 'Here Be Forebears' does not cite where the actual portrait is so I can't give you more provenance than this. However, I do have 2 extra portrait sketches of Sir James as a young man (which I will upload to wikitree); one of which matches in style a portrait of his wife, Mary Babington (currently on wikitree). The similarity between the earlier sketches and the portrait is clear. So I would say its a definite match.
Incidentally what is your interest in Sir James. Are you a cousin?
best wishes, David
I have mentioned to my brother-in-law at Lincoln's Inn that the pictures which you have found can be seen here in WikiTree, should they be interested.
Another family member is researching the line and is assembling information about relevant members of Parker, Sandbach, Macaulay, Robertson and Rainy families, and found the picture you had posted here.
Best wishes, Bernard.
