Transcribed by Charles Dobie

           Photocopies of this Bible and certificate were submitted to the LCGS website by a member of the Lanark County Genealogical Society. The Bible transcription is taken from four photocopied pages of entries which were transcribed in the order in which the photocopies were stapled together.

           The entries are all made on very elaborately engraved pages, presumably placed between the Old and New Testaments..

           I have no information about the age of the Bible, but the first three numbers of the date on the marriage record on the first page are pre-printed “188” with the last “8” entered by hand.
