Found this on another forum....

"Carl Chinn mentioned on his radio show on WM today he had been contacted by someone who had a family bible relating to the Fisher family.
The people who have the bible had done some research and discovered the Fisher family were boat builders from Tipton. They want to reunite the bible with the family"
