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).

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

from “cmp” in 1999. Also, see the obituary for Josephine M. Dempster from

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).
