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.
