A friend of mine has a Bible with the name Alfred Percy Bassett marring Louisa Alice Leather/Feather/Teather 18 June 1898. Aslo recorded are births of Frank Bassett 19 Sep 1867, Louisa Jane Bassett 17 Sept 1868, Amelia Agnes Bassett 10 Oct 1875, Alfred Percy Bassett 22 June 1878, William Ward Bassett 17 April 1882, Emily Bassett 5 Aug 1884, John Bassett 18 Oct 1886, Mary Bassett 5 May 1889, Amelia Ellen Bassett 15 Nov 1898.
Deaths are recorded for; Amelia Agnes Bassett 23 Mar 1876, Frank Bassett 15 Oct 1886, Amelia Ellen Bassett 2 Mar 1899, Father (Francis) Bassett 16 Feb 1913, Mother (Emily Middelton Bassett)12 May 1932, Emily Bassett 19 April 1913, Jack Bassett 28 Sept 1916.
The Bible is in fairly good shape. It was purchased in Pennsylvania and is now located in St Louis, Mo USA. It appears the Bassett family was in Merritton, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada in the 1881 census. Does any one know how it got to Pennsylvania, USA?
