Billington - trull family bible
« on: Tuesday 25 April 06 19:06 BST (UK) »
Our family bible is inscribed in the flyleaf  "to Kate Elizabeth (*)rull on the occasion of her marriage in 1876". She married a Billington - William I believe - and I think her maiden name was Trull. This is an unusual name.
According to Ancestry.com there were only about 30 Trulls (an average) in the UK in 1891 (not surprising as Trull can mean prostitute).
The marriage is recorded in Northalleton, Yorks - although the family later lived in Dewsbury.
The bible has come to me through Mary Ellen - (Kate's daughter) to her daughter Annie Summersgill who was my grandmother. Annie married Dick Field so the bible has now passed through four surnames.
Is it now the Field family bible or the original Trull or somewhere inbetween?
