I've bought an old book which has a sticker inside the cover showing that it was a prize given to Walter Adcock in Barnsley in 1894. He would have been a youngster. It would be great to give the details to one of his descendants.

Have you looked for births in Barnsley for him, and if anyone on here is researching his possible family?

Thanks :D. Let's hope someone from those lines is looking for Walter and finds this.

Walter Adcock is in several trees on Ancestry, some showing some of the descendants that I have found.
If you want to give the book to 'family' suggest you contact the tree holders, or be prepared for a long wait.
