Hi I have salvaged a large Family Bible the names inside are James Brown & Annie Brown with further names and dates ie:- James & Annie Brown marriage Eccles  Aug 5th 1876 etc   Death of James Brown mch 21st  1920.
The Bible is by the late Rev John Brown  born in Scotland.

Anyone interested in this please contact me.

Hi sorry I haven't a clue how to take a photo and put it on her  or emails but the info in the book is as follows:-

Front cover page (hand written) James Brown dec 1st 1874
Printers print:- Life of the Rev. John Brown (there is about 14 pages heres a small bit:-
John Brown  minister  of the Secession Church  and Author of the Self-Interpreting Bible  (the one I have) born in the  year 1722 in the village of Carpow in the parish of Abernethy in the county of Perth his father and mother belonged to a humble  order  and were poor.

John Brown was not that well learnt but his parents died and a shepherd took him in and with the time he had watching sheep he read a lot and advanced his knowledge.

There are 4 pages for writing
1st Parents names -- James Brown & Annie Brown
2nd childrens names -- There are none written
3rd Marriages -- James and Annie Brown 5 Aug 1876  Eccles Parish church  (sat)
(this one is hard to read but Ive done my best) James Brown Sarah Ann (looks very much like Blackburn ??)  St Pauls  (town) April 24th 1905   Easter Monday.
4th Deaths-- My dear mother  June19th 1791 (no name)
also my beloved Wife  Annie mch 30th 1798 who was a true and faithfull help.....? 22 years together.
My dear sisterAlice Ann Johnsonfeby 1898
My dear father died 1904

end.

Hope this is ok for you please let me know  the outcome. Can I just say I've noticed you have Anns and Annies becareful.  Good Luck

Hello

I have just read your post  Unwanted Family Bible  re James Brown.  All names you have posted fit a James Brown Census 1871 and could be part of my family.  Mary Anne Brown was the name of my GG.  If the same Mary Anne Brown she was the daughter of George Brown and Anne they lived in London, Middx.

Is it possible to get a copy of what you have to verify names and dates.  Thank you, Lookin2

Thank you very much Beechbaby for your information. I am just getting into the Brown side in Scotland and need to look further into James and Annie Brown. I believe this is her second marriage. Peter Wright was her first marriage and he died at a young age-30ish. My husbands g-father is also named James Brown Wright-Greenock, Scotland in 1919. Let you know how I make out with the Brown side. Thanks once again. I really have learned so much on this site and need to say that everyone are very helpful.

Hi Lookin2 as I said before I have no Idea how to put photoes etc on here so I am sorry I can't help you. I have put all info on the forum word for word (apart from the begining of the book where it gives details of his life about 14 pages long which I added the bits I thought were the most informative) .  You are more that welcome to the Bible , have you seen there is another member interested in the names (please no fighting over it lol ). Regards
