"the uninspired blip"

John Kelly - John Kelly - John Kelly - John Kelly

My name; my son's name; my Dad's name and my Grandfather's name were ALL John Kelly.

My Dad died about 15 year's ago and among his bits and pieces was this pocket Bible. On the fly-leaf is a pencil written inscription which says John Kelly, H.M.S. Manica, 1915 - too old for my Dad, so it must be my Grandfather?

I am an ex-printer and I invariably read the imprint of most things I read and this one intrigues: Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, 1821. See the bottom of the page.
