I have deleted my bookmarks with the Bookmark manager, but where are they now? I cannot find them in /trash and all of the *bookmark* files on my laptop are miniscule (like 127 bytes.) The json files are no better, when I imported previous bookmark files they were empty.

There is no trash folder for bookmarks. You either need a backup copy of places.sqlite or backups in the bookmarkbackups folder or a backup you created yourself manually. If you have used Sync then the bookmarks might still be available.
