Does anyone have a Pauline Merrall in their tree? I have her bible, presented to her by her father on her first birthday about 70 years ago and would be pleased to restore it to her or the family.

She said she was aware that she had lost it, many years ago but had no idea how or when but thought she may have pur it down in a public place and forgotten it.Len of the Chilterns passed away July 2021

I forgot to mention how it came into my possession. When my daughter was small, she loved books. Even as a toddler, before she could read, she would wander about the house with one of our books under her arm or would sit and pretend she was reading. As a schoolgirl, she took to visiting secondhand bookshops and spending her pocket money on old books - the older the better. Sometime, maybe 25 - 30 years ago, she bought the bible, probably for pence. Most likely it was from a shop in Oxford. When she flew the nest her bookcase and most of her books went with her and she said to dispose of the ones left behind but the bible got onto my bookshelves. It was only a couple of weeks ago that it occurred to me to try and trace the original owner and what motivated me was the inscription "To my darling daughter on her first birthday - Daddy", Also, in a very childish hand was "Pauline Merrall".Len of the Chilterns passed away July 2021

I have a bible given to me by my grandmother when I was 8 and I have a Book of Common Prayer which I found when helping to sort out her house after she had died. I would hate to lose them.Len of the Chilterns passed away July 2021
