Catholic Bible - William & Mary SINGLETON
« on: Tuesday 13 May 14 16:34 BST (UK) »
My late mother was given this Bible, and I'm hoping to reunite it with it's family.  The plaque inside reads "William & Mary Singleton 1857 (photo to follow).  The cover is in need of some repair (photo to follow), but the rest of it is fine.  I'll also include a photo of the print details.

My mum lived in Bournemouth when she was given this Bible, so maybe the family came from this area.

Not much to go on, I know, but here's hoping you Rootschatters can help!

There's only 1 Mr & Mrs (William & Mary) Singleton on the 1861 census in Dorset, at Lytchett Matravers, but whether that is them or not - who knows.

1857 obviously had some significance

Thanks dawnsh for your reply.

The family in Lytchett Matravers is worth considering, although I've searched the marriage records for a William Singleton marrying a Mary in 1857 anywhere in England or Wales and, surprisingly, there are none!
