The Authorized KJV Bible that once belonged to my mother (deceased 1971) has such dates in the top of the narrow central notes column on each page.
Collins: London and New York (1936). Glasgow Toronto Sydney Auckland This published Bible also contains useful additional reference sections: * Chronology of events between the time of Cyrus and the birth of Christ * The Bible Readers Manual - comprising helps to the study of the Bible and an INDEX and CONCORDANCE. The latter is a multipart work with 14 sections, even before the index and concordance. James Ussher was a significant scholar, whose work is not to be underestimated. His Annals of the World was recently republished in English. For more details, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussher Crawford Gribben's book, The Irish Puritans: James Ussher and the Reformation of the Church is highly recommended. Zwingli's successor in Zurich, Heinrich Bullinger was also someone with an in-depth interest in Bible chronology. Read the Evangelical Library lecture 2004 address given by Jean Marc-Berthoud.
