Cleaning Day today but a good week of research

Eliminating William at Minehead b c 1660 from the William line was good and then looking once again at him in the Robert line was interesting but now I need to eliminate him or place him in the Thomas line because he used a crest and it was only used in the Thomas line as far as I can ascertain at this time. Interesting that James Sanders did not find the baptisms for Robartt and Mary children of William Siderfin and Mary (Terrell) Siderfin at Minehead. Robert 5 was traditionally at Minehead and there remains that possibility that William is of the Robert line and even more interesting that Thomasine does not mention William actually. It does make me think that William is of the Thomas line. He would have been the son of her brother in law although James Sanders does have a Robert marrying Thomasine and not a John. I just feel it has to be a John by the naming pattern, by the location and by the property that she did not have to pass on to a son. If she was married to Robert of Minehead then Periton would have been in that line at that time I think. Perhaps a bit of nipping into the research today but mostly a cleaning day and it does look like rain. We were supposed to get a good rain and the prediction is still there but I do not see any falling from the sky at the moment.  Alight rain all day though would also be nice; constant watering for the gardens is what is needed (and mostly to help put out the forest fires which is rather critical this year). 

I like it that Christ Church Cathedral has a music school and the choirs are quite excellent. I do tend to the rather strict interpretation of the Christian Church - heal the sick, clothe the needy, care for widows and orphans who need such help. Jesus Christ was pretty specific in his thoughts for the Church he was founding. It isn't a social club although social clubs motivated to help the people in their areas are a good thing. I am deeply troubled by the concept that the Church is there for social reasons other than as stated above. It takes away from the meaning of humanity; to  serve in a world that is in desperate need of such advice. Russia in particular has lost their way; their imperialistic march into Ukraine and all the slaughter that has taken place is unbelievable in this century (the latest blowing up the dam does speak of a very barbaric society). They are the Nazis of the world now and must be stopped; supplying Ukraine with what they need to kick the Russians out of their country is a must. We in the Western Hemisphere are a God-loving; God-fearing people and want peace. We believe in the commandments that Jesus brought to us from God - love God with all of our heart, soul and mind and love our neighbours as ourselves. God is the ultimate determinate of punishment we can only serve His commandments and make the world the best place that we can. We are more than willing to support what will bring us peace and that is supporting Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. I do pray that the peace proposal from South Africa serves the greater good - Russia out of Ukraine as defined by the United Nations at the end of the Soviet Union.   

Breakfast awaits.
