NOTE: When my grandfather and uncle left Willowdale, Ontario for the states in the 60s they left two family bibles in the care of a neighbor, Winifred Ferguson, Princess Ave., Willowdale.

I would be interested in knowing if they ever turned up anywhere. They could bear Hart, Mc Lean, Moore, Spark, and Varcoe family names.

If you would post my query about the bibles on your list I would appreciate it. Mr. Ferguson predeceased my grandfather by some years and I know that Mrs. Ferguson is long gone. They had no children.
Thanks, Audrey.
