I am looking to return 2 bibles to their rightful owners.
My family inherited them from a long dead relative - a Brierley I think
Anyone have these people on their tree?.
Possibly Rochdale /Oldham Lancashire area.
Names -
Rachel daughter of Thomas Shepard b. 12-12-1756
also children of John Fletcher and Rachel Fletcher listed as
Mary Fletcher 25-9-1780
Sarah Fletcher 15-12-1787
Abraham Fletcher 25-7-1792
Samuel and Rachel 21-6-1792 ?
Jane Fletcher 19-5-1799
Edward ?-11-1801
... and also "Betsy Lord gave Elizabeth Binns to James Brierley
(until 21 yrs) 1st June 1849"
Ring any bells with anyone?
