Im not posting anything on his wife and son as i cant find deaths for them therefore they could still be alive.

HI BRYN THANKS FOR YOUR POST. IAM HAPPY TO POST YOUR FATHER'S BIBLE TO YOU IF YOU SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS. I LIVED IN ADELAIDE FOR 23 YRS. BEFORE MOVING TO PERTH AND I WOULD LIKE JOHN'S FAMILY TO HAVE IT, I AM 82YRS. OLD NOW AND I KNOW MY FAMILY WOULD NOT WANT TO KEEP IT. IT IS A BIT WORN BUT I SUPPOSE IT HAS BEEN AROUND.
