Thank you for the fast reply, Andy. I've solved the bookmarks puzzle,
although it's not quite the same as it was on our outgoing computer. But
it does what we wanted. I clicked on the "Customize and control Google
Chrome" icon and added a new user on the Settings page. So now he as his
bookmarks and I have mine. This also reinforced for me what you wrote
about the Gear icon's being "a Gmail thing" while the other, as its name
makes clear, is a Chrome thing.
So the mystery that remains for me is why some of us have more options than
others within the Gears {"sheriff's badge") icon.
