I set up sync and copied bookmarks to another another computer that I am giving to my grandson. I deleted many bookmarks that were of no interest to him. I didn't disable sync on my computer and now have lost most of my bookmarks. Can I retrive these?

Try to restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder that has them.
