Locations
In London in possession of Susan Collins - a direct descendant of Edward and Ada Glass, who says:
I reckon that there are three more identical bibles out there somewhere. Four of Samuel Thorpe's children married within a year and I assume they recieved a similar gift. It would be fun if another turns up.
