I am looking for more recent connections to John WATTERSON who married May BESWICK in Birkenhead Cheshire. May would have been born about1888.
I am really searching for a leather bound bible presented and inscribed to William MAKIN (my grandfather) on his 21st birthday by St Mary's Church Birkenhead. This would have been in 1907.
When my grandmother died leaving a very young family , they were split and Jessie MAKIN went to live with her Auntie May. Her father William gave the bible to May for safe keeping- to be passed on to Jessie at a later date. Unfortunately when John and May went to the IOM she took the bible with her- although she didnot forget about it. She told Jessie she would still have it.
Jessie is now 88 and told me the story just a few days ago- one of her biggest regrets is not having her father's bible
Grateful for any help
Dot
