Hi - I came accross an old bible in the local oxfam shop & I am trying to locate any family member this would be of interest to. The inside cover says - A J FOY Capt. The south lancasher regiment. Then lists the dates & countries he visited. The first date is 2/50 & the last is 10/83. If this gentleman is in your tree I am willing to post it on to you - I would prefer it went to one of his desendants. I do a weekly round of charity shops to look at the bibles for family ones - never found anything for me yet though, but I like to get them for others. What is the best way to reunite this bible with its family? Jo xx

In the Foy family trees there are quite a lot in the Eccleston area with a chap called John owning the tree.
