This article from the Perth-Stratford Archives (Ontario, Canada) came out yesterday in the Stratford Beacon Herald:

I don't think there's any new genealogical information to be found here, but the article features the family Bible of John Livingstone, brother of Dr. David Livingstone, and lists John's children and their birth years. (John has been discussed elsewhere in this forum in connection with his prior years in Lanark County, Ontario, and is relations in Dalhousie Township, Lanark Co.)
For those that may be searching this forum, here is an excerpt from the article, with names in the family:
... the Livingstone family Bible originally belonged to the Livingstone family of Listowel – John Livingstone (1811-1899), to be exact, who was the older brother of famous explorer Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1873). The hardcover Bible is quite large. It was published in Glasgow, Scotland, and the title on the spine is “The Family Bible.” Some pages contain pressed flowers or small notes correcting the text. The most interesting page in the book is the family registry page. It appears that John or his wife Sarah filled in the names and birth dates of their 11 children. The names and dates are as follows: Neil Livingstone, born July 4,1835; Harriot Livingston, born Feb. 13, 1837; Janette Livingstone, born Dec. 22, 1838; Harriot Livingstone, born May 13, 1841; David Livingstone, born April 4, 1843; Agnes Livingstone, born Jan. 30, 1845; Henry Drummond Livingstone, born April 20, 1847; Sarah Livingstone, born April 4, 1849; John Livingstone, born Feb. 4, 1852; Charles Livingstone, born Nov. 24, 1853; and Robert McKenzie Livingstone, born May 3, 1857.
