Dear Peceli and Wendy,
I represent Christ Church United Free Church, Hanworth Road, Feltham. Next year (2009) is the centenary of the building in which we worship. We are currently planning events to celebrate this significant milestone in our history.
The first Minister of this church was Rev. Joseph Nettleton. We do not know a great deal about Rev. Nettleton, but we do know that he was a missionary in Fiji between 1860 and 1873, and that:
“He took part in preparing the first Bible for the Fijians, and in old age translated for them The Pilgrim’s Progress.”
We were surprised to find this unexpected connection between your nation and our un-remarkable London suburban church. We would welcome any information you may have about Rev. Nettleton’s life. He played an important role in the history of our church, and perhaps in the history of your nation.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Gillies
Hello Tom,
I put a post on your website but if you google Nettleton Levuka, some things come up about him e.g. from Thornley's book.
Good luck with your research and centenary. Nettleton lived in Fiji in interesting times in the town of Levuka, the former capital of Fiji.
