Which Hymn Book is it?

Knowing that would at least identify the type of Church he attended

What you really need is someone willing to look up the ER for that year........

Of course, the fact that you have the book means that he has probably died, and his 'family' dumped the book..............

The type of book would indicate that he was C of E

Someone must have have disposed of the book for it to have found its way to you.......that is a fact.

What do you mean ..'maybe like you'? Not sure I like your tone

I'm not demeaning your efforts - I think it's a splendid idea, but reality can't be ignored.

For instance, if you ever came across the leather-bound volumes which were presented to my late father as school prizes, it would be because my stepmother sold them almost before he was cold in his grave..........

So I do know what I'm talking about.............
