Hi Yorkshire Genealogists
Whils browsing in a book store near Bristol, we came across a rather tatty bible; but, on looking inside, we found 3 pages of a lovely hand written family tree of the PLEWS family
It begins with the following entry:-
HENRY PLEWS was the youngest son of THOMAS PLEWS, Farmer of Thornton Watlass, County of York
The above named HENRY PLEWS was married to ANNE TAYLOR of Kirby Hill or Ravensworth near Richmond at the Church of Kirby Hill on the 30th March 1796.
The final entry is:-
WALTER EDWARD PLEWS died at Bedale (of Apoplexy 28th April 1859) Monday 30th May 1859 at 7.30 pm aged 23 and was interred at Wartlass? Saturday 4th June. Grave immeadiately adjoining (on the right side) the late Jane Robinson
I photographed the 3 pages and would happily pass them on to an ancestor. Incidentally, the Bible was priced at £45

Once you have made sufficient posts you will see under the name of the person who replies to your post a green scroll will appear. If you click on that green scroll you can send them a personal message (PM) which is private between you. This is the recommended method of sending private details like email addresses which the moderators will delete from normal posts.
Rootschat is very conscious of the problems of spam which is one reason why this facilty is provided and also why it is restricted to genuine users after they have made a few posts.

The title of this thread attracted me - hoping it was MY family bible that Chris found. I live in hope. 
This is a really good result so I hope it's OK if I tag along to see how the story ends.
Plewsbedale, welcome to rootschat! I see you live in Yorkshire - if you want to purchase the bible (I would!) perhaps if David Chris remembers the name of the book shop, you could phone them and see if they will accept payment via credit card and post the bible to you?
Good luck!

Hi plewsbedale
No, we didnt purchase the Bible as it was of no interest to us other than we thought the information inside would be of benefit to some family historian - hence taking the photographs.
I can supply you with the name and address of the shop near Bristol and you can then contact them to see if it is still available.
I think you have to be careful here as if to much interest is shown in the bible - it could hype up the price which was a realistic £45 in August.
The Bible was rather large like those you find on a lecturn in the church, brown in colour, but the binding was a bit tatty
I am away on holiday from Fri 24th for 1 week (return Sunday 3rd Nov) in the peak district of Derbyshire (New Mills) and doing some of my own family history in nearby Macclesfield.
Cheers for now
Chris in 1066

ooops, sorry Chris ....
looks like plewsbedale might need a courier to deliver the bible. I think £45 sounds reasonable too.
I'd be thrilled if it was mine. 
Hoping for a successful outcome.
