My name is Ray Knaggs from New Zealand. I have in my possession a small book with an overall dimension, height 125mm, width 90mm, thickness 20mm This book called "Poetical Keepsake" was given to a George Knaggs. On the inside cover it states "George Knaggs Auckland New Zealand From his affectionate friend R Mallory March 21st 1859". My query is to try and find out who and where R Mallory was. George Knaggs and his family came from Kilham in Yorkshire and finally left the UK from London.
The book was printed in Halifax by Milner and Sowerby in 1855. Any assistance will be appreciated. Ray Knaggs January 10th 2013 email <rf_dram4@xtra.co.nz>
