[SECONDARY INFORMATION]

 

FAMILY BIBLE (Family Data)

 

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. 

 

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

 

Note from Astrid: I just ordered the following four birth certificates through Research UK, a company in England, and hope to receive these Stacey certificates by the end of the month (February 2003). The General Register Office (GRO) identifications (quarter years, registration districts, volume and page numbers) were found in the British Civil Registration indexes available on microfilm or microfiche for births, marriage, or death registrations in England or Wales as early as 1837. These micro-publications are available at many large genealogical collections in libraries or genealogical associations and in most Family History Centers (usually located in churches of the Mormons – Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints).
