Lincolnshire Completed Look up Requests / Re: COMPLETED - Spalding Lincolnshire - JOHN BROWN m. ROSAMOND around 1820

Ok, so I am so far unable to post pictures or links to the pictures. I'll just write here what the inscriptions in the bible are:

Front flyleaf, penned in lovely old script: "John Brown, Moulton, Jan 24 1840, Lincolnshire"

On the blank page, the last page of the Old Testament, again written in lovely old script: "Rosamond, the Wife of John Brown, died at Moulton, on the fourth day of January 1841, Aged 41 Years"

Back end-paper: "John Brown, Moulton, January 4th 1842."

Hello Chris. I collect and sell old books and in my travels this past fall I selected a few old bibles from a free box of books at a church rummage sale. I'm just getting around to researching some the inscriptions and other identifiers and started looking up an 1837 bible belonging to John Brown, Moulton, Lincolnshire and his wife, Rosamond. I ended up here and found your post. I thought you may like to have the bible since you evidently have a family connection to it. I'll attempt to post a few pictures (I'm not too good at this), if possible. I'll hold onto the bible for a bit in the hope that you may eventually contact me. Sincerely, Kris (53rdspirit)
