My 2x great grandfather John Taylor married Rachel Sleith.
As a young man my father visited the family home at Tullyherron and found a very old family bible.I was wondering if there were any Patton's, Taylor's or Sleith's still living there who might know the whereabouts of this bible.
Hi Liz,
You might already have this, but here is the marriage cert for John Taylor and Rachel Sleith:

I assume this is your Sleith/Sleeth family in Tullyherron in 1901:

1911 with Taylor and Sleeth families there:

There appears to have been a Sleeth still farming there in 1948.
Probate abstract from the PRONI wills site:
Sleeth Thomas of Tullyherron Mountnorris county Armagh retired farmer died 25 August 1948 Probate Belfast 2 December to Maud Stevenson widow. Effects £990.
There are also some Sleeths listed in the general area (postcode BT60) in the modern on-line phone book but they appear to be ex-directory.
Thank you for your help
Liz did you have any success with the bible.
John Taylor and Rachel Seith were also my 2x great grandparents.
