there's something wrong with this picture
A few years ago, while on the telephone with my mother, one of my daughter's friends interrupted to ask what our dog's name was. "Georgia," I replied. "We named her after my grandmother." At which point my mother interrupted to tell me that my grandmother's name wasn't Georgia, it was Georgie.

I knew who baptised Louis Bouchie, but I didn't know my own grandmother's name? Sad, but true. I never really researched my own family, probably because I have relatives who do a thorough job of it. For the record, my father's mother's maiden name was Georgie Francis Sisk (1901-1921).

And Louis Bouchie (1859-1894) was baptised by Reverend John Bate.
