It would be great if you could post the details that you found in that Bible somewhere so that interested genealogists could pick them up. Most English church records go back to the 1530s or so; anything earlier than that relies on these sorts of private documents.
- madaxe_again 9y agoOh, I did years ago - chucked it on geni - although iirc it went back to 1580 or so. I also shared scans of the letters with the BBC, as while I'm sure they've got digitised copies of the times from then (hence they were flogging the originals in an auction house in Hampshire), I don't think the inclusion of the correspondence was deliberate - assume someone left them there 80 years ago while working on research for a story. The rest is of fairly limited interest other than as oddities - although the radio times poster graces the wall of the business I founded still, I gather.
