Age Of Old Bible - any ideas please?

I'll spend some more time investigating everyone's suggestions tomorrow, Charlotte...after a good night's sleep!    

I'm really appreciating everyone's contributions.....thanks to you all.

The LDS CDs show no John EAINE in 1881 census so if I have read the surname correctly it would seem the bible had to have been published by 1881.

The name is The Rev'd John Eadie, D.D. LL.D, Professor of Biblical Literature to the United Presbyterian Church.

(Just book-marking ... fascinating !)

There's another one here http://tinyurl.com/ygp4p5w

You may need to scroll down the page.  You will also find info on John EADIE (1810-76).  I doubt his death precludes a later date of publication - after all the book is still published despite earlier deaths of Matthew, Mark etc.

Dee's post [reply #8 I think] shows a title page with "His Majesty" which probably means after Queen Victoria.  No-one has suggested pre-Victorian.

I think that it was because it was the King James (First and Sixth) version 

The first entry was to a marriage in the mid 189os.

King James Bible first produced 1611 ...

You're right, Lydart.....the whole experience for Joan and I is fascinating.....the old bible itself, the families involved, and the story of their travels.

Thanks again, everyone. I'll spend some more time on this later today.
