Smoothy-Chowns family bible

[Jeuel]

John Smoothy (1811-1894) and Ann Chowns (1826-1894) were my great-great grandparents. 

Their family bible was a present given Christmas 1858, after they'd married, by a Mrs Woodroffe, who I found in my researches was once John's employer.

I was thrilled to have access to this bible, which is in my mother's possession, and even more thrilled to have two relatively unusual surnames to trace. 

John was from Chelmsford, Essex and Ann from Farnham Royal in Bucks.

I'd love to hear from and exchange information with anyone connected with them.
