In 1986 Valencia Lancaster (1898 – 1996) gave her sixth cousin, my father Rafe de Crespigny, a family Bible that had been in the Champion de Crespigny since 1880.
Family bibles are such treasures! I imagine researching multiple Claude's can present its difficulties at times? Or are they always referred to be their middle names in documents etc?
What a treasure. Such great information here in this family bible, Anne. I can only imagine the confusion that multiple Claude’s possibly caused in the family.

Thanks for your comments. The extra detail in the entries in the family Bible was interesting.
The Claudes were relatively straightforward to research - the four younger ones seem amost always to be distringuished by their middle names.
