The Briars (Georgina)

Amy did not want to live in the forest, so she persuaded William to rejoin the Navy and to return to serve in India.

Twenty years later, William returned to Canada with his second wife and family to live in his newly built Briars in 1843.

The Briars was rented by the widowed Mrs. Bourchier to a number of arriving settlers, and she later sold the property to Dr. Frank Sibbald in the 1870s.

Upon his death in 1904, Frank Sibbald left the property to William Bourchier's daughter Bessie who attempted to carry on the farm but was advised by her bank manager to rent it out.

Her lover was a heavy set balding man with a beard and it is said that she particularly likes to disturb anybody who reminds her of the pain.

Jack continued to farm on the property, and used the Manor House for his business and his civic office of Reeve.
