"Do you have any idea of what the content of these Bibles were?"

Yes, the Tyndale bible was an English translation of Erasmus' greek manuscripts for the New Testament. About 75% of it found its way directly into the 1611 Authorized KJV.

Shall I pause to let you consider the ramifications of your statement here? Let me enumerate the main points: who translated? how accurate were the Greek manuscripts that the translators actually used, and how accurate is the 1611 KJV (are you sure that the original KJV was Authorized? and who was it Authorized by?).
