Abbott/Knight family bible
« on: Saturday 19 December 09 01:58 GMT (UK) »
My uncle Colin Abbott sold the family bible shortly after the death of Grandma Mary Jane Abbott in about 1961. I would dearly like to acquire it or at least have sight of it. Anyone seen it or know it's wherabouts? It is inscribed with a list of names in the front. It is dark leather bound and I seem to remember it had a fancy brass lock on it.While on the subject I am keen to hear from anyone who has links with this family in the Thrapston/Isham area from about 1950 backwards. The entire family came from a 10 mile radius of Thrapston. My grandparents used to run the pub in Isham called The Old Red Lion.
Many thanks
