The inscriptions in our family bible list my family tree. If you zoom in and see the date 1836 you are not mistaken. In fact the first date recorded, which is on the previous page, is 29th March 1788 at 3 o'clock in the morning when my long distant ancestor John Fearnley was born into the world.
So interesting right1, my dad worked on our family history for a while and got back the the 1800's as well. He found a lot of information at the church.
