Here's the Bible pages for the Roy Bible. I scanned the pages a few years ago. It was a very large Bible that had been rebound but was in excellent condition.
The title page indicates that it was published by A. J. Holman & Co. No. 930 Arch Street, Philadelphia, 1878. It was the Bible of James F and Helen Roy of Alexandria and in the possession of the descendants of Rob Roy.
The register pages are laid out in two columns and the handwriting is very clear. At least two people have recorded the data as the original data has been added to.
In a few places I have added some information in parenthesis for clarification of either initials or events.
