I am researching my family history and today it bought me to Upwell and Outwell.
I know the Parker name goes back before 1700 here, but it is the first time I have had the opportunity to visit.
What a warm welcome I had from the many people I spoke to from the lady taking a photo of the river as I was doing, the delightful people in the post office, in the sandwich shop and the neighbours on Workhouse Lane.
I would like to thank you all for making my trip such a warm memory.
If you have a connection with someone with the Parker name or are even a Parker yourself I would be delighted if you got in touch by email h_parker_drabble@hotmail.com.
With warm wishes,
HELEN PARKER-DRABBLE
