Ashworth/Noble family bible in Brisbane Australia

[Rian]

I came across a family bible recently belonging to the Ashworth and Noble families. Jonas Noble and his wife Martha (nee Ashworth) emigrated to Queensland in 1873. Their bible is in Brisbane owned by Don, phone number (*) I found it when I went to a garage sale last w/e, but didn't have a spare $50 to buy it. I took digital pics of the data and have it on a gedcom if anyone is interested. The Ashworths came from Rochdale: John and his 2 wives, both named Mary. There is also a 2 page document written by John Ashworth with a verse from Burns quoted for his first wife, but just stating that his second one died.
I should love to see the bible go to where it will be appreciated— it is in a poor state of repair at present. If you just want the data however, please contact me.
Rian.

I got this response from a friend in Rochedale, Brisbane when I mentioned your Bible:

There is an Ashworth at nearby Mt. Gravatt  and a Noble at Eight Mile Plains, also quite close to Rochedale, so I might call them tomorrow and see if they have any connection. Who knows, they might be interested.

Unfortunately the bible had been sold when i went back to buy it a few days later.
By some amazing coincidence I find I have a distant cousin in England whose relatives these most likely are, so they are my relatives by marriage!
If your friend is interested, please PM me and I can send the digiital images I took of the pages and letters in the bible — thank goodness for digital cameras!
Cheers, Rian.

Rian, I hope I am able to connect with you.  I know I am 5 years too late.  I just noticed your posting on the Ashworth/Noble family bible.  I am researching this very family.  Your posting matches all the info. I have.  I am very interested in whatever further info. you were able to glean from the bible.  It's a shame that it is no longer available.  Thanks so much!

I will try to contact you again this way!
You got only one of 7 photo messages – all others come back saying "over quota".
Can you fix it your end? Or send me a different e-mail address?
 
Cheers, Rian.
