Tracing a Family Bible from the 19th Century
« on: Sunday 12 October 08 10:01 BST (UK) »
I wondered if anyone would be interested in the following article I read in a Spanish Newspaper; as per newspaper article;
A lady who has been helping to raise funds for a animal charity recently came  across  and old Bible which had been donated by a person or persons unknown. There is an inscription inside which reads;
"To Mr. Thomas Dickson as a token of regard and esteem from his friends in Annan Presbyterian Church, Annan, Ontario, Septermber 6th 1889.With the help of a friend this lady has been in contact with the Revrend Hugh MacDonald in Annan, who subsequently passed on all the details to genealogist. It is now known the the Bible was presented to Thomas Dickson, a miller of Scottish descent, upon his retirement before he left for Ruperts Land with his wife and daughter to become an agent for the Hudson Bay Company.
Unfortunately, Thomas died a year later in 1890. In the case that any of our readers should recognise these few facts and can shed any light on how this beautiful Bible came to be in Mallorca please contact (*)
