Hi Sharon,
I can imagine your anticipation as I have had a long and continuing search for relatives of the ancestors on this bible page. However I have to disappoint you about the other names you have listed, as the page only shows the birth dates, names and time of day for the two families, as they were apparently related by marriage at this point. If you can tarce a line back from you to either one of them I am happy to let you have the page and the front cover, which is all I have left. There is no facility for me to leave a phone number in my profile, I am not sure if you can use a facility on this site to send me a private message.

Me again. Have you tried Genforum.com? Also if you have a positive location, write a letter to the local paper for their tracer service and ask if there are any families of long standing in the area with the names you are looking for. Also, try the phone book for that area. My cousin found a number of names of one of our families where we might have expected them, and the first one I phoned produced a family tree.

Hi Joan,
I no longer have the bible, just the cover and inside page, as it was deteriorating too much to keep, and my local records office were not interested. From your writing I think you are maybe not in the UK sorry if I have that wrong.
Advertised this in newspapers, the Lancashire Family history society and on this site, and have drawn a few qureies like yours, but no positive luck so far. I did not know about the family tree magazine, is it connected to something like this site?
As I said Myton is not too far from here, and I think I aquired the bible from a jumble sale some years ago, and put it away and forgot about until recently when I had to clear out my loft. It would seem reason able that it was not too far for the family to travel to my village over the course of three or four generations and for it to survive from 1790 until the late 1900's when I aquired it.

Joan,
You have not mentioned Eliza before, but no matter. Great Mitton and Gisburn are about five or six miles apart near Clitheroe in Lancashire, but the Myton Upon Swale is of interest as there is not much other evidence of Bulcocks around here.
I know nothing about this family, except for this page from the family bible. There are only names, dates and times of birth on the page, no places or other information. Have you come across the name Shuttleworth connected with the Bulcocks? The information on the paghe is from 1790 to the 1830's so later on than your current research. The Bulcocks who owned this bible may well have been well off, as the front cover has the gold embossed name of John Bulcock on it

Hello   I am researching the Isherwood family of Gt.Mitton or Myton under Swale - North Yorks.
and have recently found a marriage  of 1720  for a John Isherwood and Ann Bulcock at Myton upon Swale.
This Bullcock name also appears in the London area in St. Botolph, Bishopgate in the 1700's
If this helps.

Hi Joan,
This could be a link to the family I have on the bible page. Myton is only about 15 miles from me, but there is about two generations seperating the Ann you have here and the Bulcocks I have. Do you have any more info. on Ann, such as who her father is and where he lives, or if she has siblings particualrly boys?
Thanks for your reply.

I met my fourth cousin removed in a hotel in Vancouver. I had been comunicating with her brother for about 4 years and had planned to meet him on that visit, but he died two weeks before we got there.

Well Pete, you are a pleasant surprise! I no longer have the bible sadly as it was more than 200 years old and decaying beyond repair, and I had no where to keep it. I did however keep the front cover, and the page with the family births on. I do not know if it will successfully scan for e mail, but if you think it could be relevant, I can list the entries here for you. I would like to find a living relative to pass it to. The front cover has a red leather name patch on the inside very well preserved. It reads "John Bulcock 1816"
