Transcribed by Charles Dobie

The Bible and cards are owned by a member of the Lanark County Genealogical Society. The Bible transcription is taken from seven photocopied pages of entries which were transcribed in the order in which the photocopies were stapled together.

The first three pages seem to be on blank pages (i.e. not special pages often provided in Bibles for notations) and the other entries are on special pages as noted.

I have no information about the age of the Bible. Note that Jean/Jane Erskine is refered to as “Jean” on page two and “Jane” on page five. Also the day of birth of Peter Young differs by ten days in the entries on page one and two.

// First page

[The first three pages seem to be in the same handwriting, and
except for the death notation on the second page, seem to have been
written at the same time.]
