NEW TESTAMENT dated 1864, beautiful handpainted inscription in front;
"To my dearest wife Sarah Frances KING  In memory of my 60th Birth-day A.D 1864" Bible picked up in a junk shop in Hanwell, West London many years ago, for a song. Many b& w illustrations, A4 format but weighs a ton! I live in France so must ask for postage, otherwise free to interested party.

Hi Niki,

How much do you think that the Bible would cost to post to Sydney Australia?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Sandie - sorry to be so long replying but had almost given up hope of finding anyone interested! Will trundle it down to the local PO & ask.

In the meantime, would you like a scan of the frontispiece & a photo of the book itself?

Regards
Niki

Dear Nikki,

Thanks, yes I would like a copy if possible. Can you send me a private email with the photo attached?

If cost is cheaper it could be sent to my Aunt in Scotland, she is in Blairgowrie near Perth, otherwise I live in Sydney. I also have relatives in Sweden if that is cheaper still.

Many thanks'
Sandie

Apols once more to be late in replying Sandie - and guess what, I have not been the PO yet! I plead a spot of holidays & lots of clearing up to do when I got back!

Does the said Family Bible list any first names or places?
My ancestors are KINGs from  Leicestershire Gt. Easton and Northamptonshire.
I have great uncles by the names of: William, George & Herbert A. I also have a Sarah KING on my list from 1829........all these KINGs on a burial list.
Swithin George KING was my gt grandfr and gg-grandfr George KING.
Hoping to someday find a Family Bible.
Thank you

I also have a Sarah King in my line...I was curious if you got the family Bible or did the other lady from Sydney get the bible....? I would be interested in any thing you would be willing to share on the KING family....
Thanks
