T'is safe - on the desk now next to the computer.

I'll scan in the handwritten notes later today for all to see.

The front chapter is missing, starts at the tail end of Genesis Ch 15 and very water marked but the pen scritpt's are just legible but someone has taken the time to copy some of the faded ink entries.

We are currently cleaning out under the house and boxing up for the move back to the coast and I was under strict instruction to get rid of a lot of my "collectables"  - but not this one!

I knew that some one might treasure it.

Hello  - about 35 years ago I bought a box of items in Nowra NSW at a church stall. Amongst the items was an old family bible in poor condition, but to my great delight, as a history buff, someone had attached some pen script recordings of Births.

William Francis Dubock Brown is the first entry against which it says "son of WH & J Brown of Sydney NSW"

I would like to return this bible to the descendants of William for their custody.

Any assistance appreciated

Family Bibles / Re: Armstrong Family Bible
« on: Saturday 07 April 12 03:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello  -  my grandfather is Robert Armstrong Caldow who emigrated to Australia circa 1912. He married May Isabella Byrne in WA.

Robert's mother was Helen Armstrong.

Last year my wife Janet and I travelled back to Kirkudbright not far from Dumfies.

Whilst very interested in the Armstrong bible and what it may contain there is a brilliant museum within Kirkudbright town who were very helpful to us and I think they could assist.

Regards
