The bible belonged to this John Noster, and there is a sheet of paper stuck to the back cover, with handwritten notes. These notes contain dates of birth and death of John’s family, which I am able to use to amend, where relevant, the details of his family. Tim and his mother, Veronica were keen for the bible to go to Russ family members, and I agreed to take the bible. This means I can add details in this web page so many of the Russ family can see it. Here are some photos: the bible, the bible opened with the sheet of paper visible, and the page itself.) Here is John’s headstone.
