Hi All, Been a couple of weeks!!.......some new ones for you all.......hope they belong to someone somewhere!!....... Sarah :)

I was hoping you might have had a list of names? If you do, you're being very tantalising about it! ;-) - The kindest way to deal with that is to get your list ready in Word, or something, first and then just copy-and-paste. That way your detailed info appears fairly soon after the initial message. Christine

Hi Christine Sorry about the delay........

You were just teasing us! ;-) That's a great selection... None of mine, unfortunately, but always the chance that someone here will find something useful for them. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to put up the info. Christine

Spooky ... was just telling my daughter today that someone always listed Bibles for sale on ebay on this site and I hadn't seen it for a while. None of mine unfortunately... but I live in hopes that one day ... Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do this. Jean x.

Ohhhh....the Bath Family bible sounds very interesting to me. I don't have any connection (as far as I know) to the Bath family, but I do have some Yeates and Carter's from that area of Wiltshire in my tree. Not direct lines, but interesting all the same. I might just have to se how much that one is going for. Thanks very much for the information. Kath. x

I found a lady on GR who has John Lamb in her tree and she's off for a look at ebay.
