DERIVATIVE SOURCES

FAMILY BIBLE (Family Data)

1) Family bible record of the marriage of Mr. William G. Stacey and 
Miss Sarah Grace Cook, married August 8, 1894, at Bowmanville, 
County of Durham, Ontario, Canada. Witnessed by J.D. Butchart, 
T. Percy, R.A. Burriss, Bowmanville, Ont. (uniform handwriting, 
not signatures).

Location of original bible is unknown. In 2001, cousin JS mailed a 
photocopy of the bible record to Astrid Terras. The design and 
subjects of the page suggest that this record may have come from 
the same bible as did the other bible record listing the births of 
the nine children of this couple. Astrid’s note: Haven’t yet been able 
to find the official marriage registration for this couple, but have 
seen a local newspaper marriage notice with details of their marriage 
ceremony that also confirms the date. Assume that the official registration 
may have been lost or misplaced by the officials or minister involved.  

2) Family bible record of the children of William George Stacey and 
Sarah Grace Cook, born between 1896 and 1918 [in the Counties of Durham 
and Ontario, and the District of  Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada].

Location of original bible is unknown. In 2001, cousin JS mailed a 
photocopy of the bible record to Astrid Terras. The handwriting and 
the same pen used throughout the record suggest that the entries were 
made at one and the same, perhaps by one of the adult children, 
because only nine of the ten known children have been listed in the 
record. Missing from the record is Clara May Stacey who lived for 
only two months and died on July 9, 1902. Otherwise, the birth dates 
in the record have agreed with those released by the Archives of Ontario 
thus far (in 2002, birth records to 1905 were released to the public). 

BOOK – HISTORY, LOCAL

Larry J. Bary, ed., Memories of Burk’s Falls & Districts 1835-1978 
(no publishing data). Contents of the book include a section titled 
“The Hilliar Family” (pp. 84-85) written by Josephine M. Hilliar Dempster. 
The section refers to Josephine’s grandfather William Underhill Hilliar, 
his wife Mary Ann Elizabeth Aldridge, their son Joseph Frederick Hilliar, 
daughter Ellen Rose Hilliar, and mention of another six siblings. 
Also mentioned are Joseph’s wife Mary Nettie Knight, their son Horace 
Knight Hilliar, as well as their daughters Berenice, Josephine (who 
authored the two-page section), Kathryn, and some of their various 
offspring. (In February 2003, to cousin Debbie Stacey, I mailed the 
photocopies of pages 84 and 85 and the citation of the book, all 
received from “cmp” in 1999. Also, see the obituary for Josephine M. 
Dempster from 2000.)

INDEXES AND TERTIARY SOURCES

MEMOS:  Send relevant and updated family group sheets with photocopies. 
Aim to have each fact cited on family group sheets, family trees, and on so.

These models were based on my own personal research started in 
1999-2000 and my subsequent opinions about how Canadian and English 
genealogical sources might be included in citations, footnotes, and 
bibliographies. This project has turned into an ongoing labour of love, 
and I welcome your comments, opinions, or questions.
