Family Bible of Mary Ann Stables and Charles Podmore
These are photographs and transcriptions of pages from the Family Bible of
Mary Ann Stables (b. 1860, Darfield) who married Charles Podmore. This Family
Bible is now in the private possession of relatives of Reg Dyson of Otley (Mary
Ann's grandson) and it
is with his kind permission that I include them here.
In Victorian times it was very common for couples to be presented with a
Family Bible when they married, in which details of births, marriages and deaths
within the family were recorded. Often these were handed down from generation to
generation and provide a valuable resource for genealogists where they still
exist. So far this is the only one featuring a Stables that I have come across.
The photographs on this page may take a short while to download but they are
worth the wait, as this is a very beautiful book.
