I saw it yesterday but it didn't relate to any of my family members. I think I found one member whose relative may have been listed and sent her a message but no reply as of yet.
I would love to find something like this for my own family so I am keen to try and get in touch with anyone here who it may be of interest to. I am not the seller by the way!
The details that the seller gave were as follows
Starting 1819 with George Beddoes - Lucy Beddoes; Henry Beddoes; Leslie/Derdrie?? (not clear) Beddoes (1855); George Beddoes; Ethel Annie (daughter of Henry & Louisa Beddoes); George Davy(?) John - of Henry & Louisa Beddoes; Leonard (son of Henry & Louisa Beddoes); Sydney (son of George & Eliza Beddoes); Noel(?) Sydney (son of George & Eliza Beddoes);Gertrude Lilian (daughter of Henry & Louisa Beddoes); Horace Chamberlain (son of Henry & Louisa Beddoes); Nesta Fanny (daughter of William and Ann ?) 1896.

If anyone has a few minutes to spare and would like to try and locate any genes reunited member that may have any of the relatives listed above, that would be good.
I looked up Horace Chamberlain Beddoes yesterday and he was registered in Stourbridge.

Hello Pocahontas,

If you put some of the Beddoes names into the Search Trees box above, you will find that several members of this site have them in their tree.

You can contact the tree owners to let them know about this bible.

Hi Mary and Cynthia. The item wasn't sold , I suppose it will be relisted soon. I have managed to find two people on here whom I am are connected to the names in the bible and have given them the details of the seller so they can watch out for it if they want to or perhaps contact the seller directly. The ball is in their court now.

I'll just keep looking at ebay in the hope I get lucky sometime!

After a few false starts I have now made contact with a person who has many relatives listed in the book and they seem very please . I have passed on all the details re the seller etc, so hopefully the Bible will be back where it belongs soon. :-)
