Hi Janice,

Nice to hear from you, are you sure they are not related ???. William Williamsons mother was Barbara Robinson,( My 3x great grandmother), maybe it was passed down the line from her side of the family??.

Barbara robinson was born in 1821 in Harrington, her husband was Joseph Williamson. She lived untill 1908, so could one of her brothers/ sisters taken possession of the Bible.

Let me know what you think.
Kate.

William is listed in FreeBMD as b. Q4 1844 Whitehaven but you'll have to go to Scotlandspeople for Jemima.
