A very old family bible has been donated to the heritage centre where I am a volunteer and I have been asked to locate direct descendants.
I would love to hear from anyone with connections to this family.

are there any first locations, names or dates to help start the search?
Perhaps?

Ancell Augustus COX (F) William a tailor

Hi Carol :) The same question as myluck as there are both Tiplady and Cox family's in the Thorne Doncaster area of Yorkshire to this day.

Hi Frank and My Luck...the locations include..Leeds, Bradford, Thirsk, Hull and Wallsall.
I can't believe that having just found family for one donated bible and now have an identical bible to home ;D
Carol
-
any indication of time frame though or names to help?
how old do you think the bible is?
The couple I located divorced in 1900 and Ancell remarried the same year
They did not have children/issue
-
The earliest entry is 1844 and that last entry is 1938...There is an Annie but the middle name is different. The bible is an 1880s Brown's bible.

Having searched through the information in the bible and online...I can't make a connection to your Annie...There is also a Tiplady line from Durham but there is no link that I can find to any of the names in the bible.

I was on the Home page and spotted a surname I knew, so came and had a nosey.
I don't know which branch your research has led you to, but Tiplady is an unusual name and I went to Ainthorpe Grove Primary school with twins Malcolm and Stewart Tiplady born 1939.
I was in touch with them about a decade ago until my computer gave up the ghost. I believe one lives in Bucks and one in Hampshire.

Hi Rena...Thanks for that...I appreciate your response and will investigate. From research already carried out I believe that there is only one line connection to Hull and their offspring was born in The Wirral...I can't mention them as I believe they may still be alive.
I have made contact with descendants on Genes Reunited so I will watch and wait :D

Good luck on finding a home for the bible sooner rather than later

Thanks Rena....the last donated bible took 16 months to reunite it with a family...but it was well worth the wait.

Someone, somewhere Frank, is probably saying that their Grandma had a lovely bible and an album full of family photos and they don't know what happened to them....well I do and I have put out four messages so watch this space ;D

The family are so overwhelmed and excited Frank...I have scanned and emailed some of the cabinet cards and the soon to be 90 year old has identified several of her ancestors. So rewarding 8)
