Re: Hi again from Kamloops!!I am trying to find a home for this Innes Bible..........there is no family info in it, only a name ANDREW INNES, NEW ROW TRANENT............I bought it from someone who snooped and saw that I was an INNES researcher. Well, my thought was to find it a home with someone who was of this family. If anyone has the time or would know how to track this, it would be good to GIVE it to someone who wanted it in the family. I don’t rescue strays......animals, I refer to.......but stray things like this, I just cannot sit back and see them tossed in the garbage bin. It’s been some time since I tried to track this down, so if anyone is up to the challenge, go to it..........below is the message I had posted a quite a few years back. It apparently came to Canada with someone, but that I cannot verify. Goldie ********* The Bible has come today and here is the info in it. On the front inside fly leaf, "This Bible belongs to Andrew Innes written by George Innes New Row Tranent March 7th 1872." On the inside back, last page, "This Bible belongs to Andrew Innes New Row Tranent Writen by Andrew Innes New Row Tranent" It was published in February 28, 1868. TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE, JAMES, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, &c. Front page, THE HOLY BIBLE containing the Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the original tongues; and with the former translations deiligently compared and revised by his Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be read in Churches. Printed by Authority and the seal under it. Inside front cover: NATIONAL BIBLE SOCIETY REDUCED TO 3S. FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FULL PRICE. On the inside back cover. Published at 4s.6d., to be sold at 3s. each. No discount. Sold at this low price by the liberality of Christian Friends, aided by a grant from the National Bible Society. EXCULUSIVELY FOR WORKING PEOPLE. Religious Tract and Book Society of Scotland, Edinburgh. *********** As near as I can figure out Andrew Innes is the son of Andrew Innes and Mary Ann Rutherford who married 22 Jun 1838 in Prestonpans, East Lothian. They had 8 children that show on the IGI~~ Two male Innes b 1839, 1840, Margaret Innes 1844, Elizabeth Innes 1846, Archibald 1848, Mary Ann 1851, Andrew 1856, and John Rutherford 1858. According to the 1871 census this George fits in between Mary Ann and Andrew, and there is a James who is missing, 1780. All are born in Tranent, East Lothian. James married in 1805 to Marion Hardy, I think. Andrew Senior, was a coal miner, and also born in Tranent. He died in January of 1886. ********** now if we can find this old Bible a loving home, it would be wonderful. And thanks for your help. Goldie
