Every so often I like to browse antique embroidery on ebay and have just discovered this, complete with photo:

Item number: 120405027530 "Antique Sampler by Elizabeth Slapley age 13"

A quick check of the BMD shows there was indeed an Elizabeth STAPLEY (not Slapley) b 1873 SeptQ in Hackney. Unfortunately I've not been able to pass the tip onto a related GR member who might be interested.

One very nice GR member once alerted me to a family bible connected with someone in my tree and, although it went for much higher a price than I could afford, I did benefit from the page scan listing several births, deaths and marriages!

What a nice thought, Tracey.

Hope someone contacts you.

To be in possession of something like this from the family is an absolute gem!

The seller is in Bognor Regis, so that supports that. It is dated July 25th 86. The seller doesn't know whether this is 1786 or 1886.
