Quest to find owner of 98-year-old family Bible
The bible containing family records appears to have been gifted to newlyweds in Armagh in 1925A Church of Ireland lay reader has begun a quest to return a 98-year-old bible to its rightful owner.
"The first entry is a marriage in 1925, with births registered up to 1935 which would be around my mum's vintage but there are marriages up to 1968 and deaths until 1992," she said. As well as different parishes in Northern Ireland, there are also marriages noted in Dartmouth, Chorley and Broadstairs in England."I am not too sure whether the family has not realised what they have given away or perhaps the family has come to the end of its line and someone else clearing the house did not want to throw out a bible", she said.
"We would still give a bible to every couple getting married in the church, although they would not have the family tree and record which seems to be something from the past," he said.
