The whereabouts of the family Bible of
John Bishop of Moncton are unknown now.
The following data is from the copy Garry Weir has of the
pages of births, deaths and marriages that were in the Bible.
Garry's Aunt Agnes STILES, who had the Bible, sent it to a distant
cousin (a Bishop - first name not known) who lived in California,
because he wanted to make copies of the pages. He removed the pages,
made copies, and sent the copies back, keeping the originals for
himself. Garry's aunt does not know his address now.
