Rev at Breams Eaves, Family Bible

[Panda]

My 2x Great Grandfather, Henry Martin,  Left a will in which he left our family bible to Rev. Eales who was the vicar at Breams Eaves in the Forest of Dean.  The will was dated 1901.  I would love any information on the Rev Eales to see if I can trace our family bible.

You can search for family bibles available there as well as on this site

I have also found this information for you online, I hope it is of some use to you:

Also once again here is some more details from this very informative &  interesting website:
Vicar's Farewell Letter
The Vicarage,
October 27th, 1902.
My dear Parishioners and Friends,
As it is clearly impossible for me to visit every house in Bream and Yorkley Wood before leaving, I take this opportunity of saying good-bye to many whom I cannot reach in person.
First I want to thank those church workers who have helped the church so efficiently and self-denyingly during the last six year; and at the same time I wish to convey my thanks to the multitude of parishioners by whom I have been most graciously received at all times. I shall not forget Bream, nor its people.
In the next place I should like to ask your prayers for God's blessing upon Naunton, whither I am going, as well as your prayers and your earnest support for my successor in this parish.
And finally let me say how heartily glad it will make me at all times to hear of the growing prosperity of the Church in Bream and Yorkley wood.
The Parish and Church I commend into God's keeping as I sign myself for the last time,
Your affectionate Vicar,
Ernest F. Eales
