Shared note

5/05 RL I'm not absolutely sure that Eliza (qv) is my Great Aunt Queen (see also general note to William Oliver Lovelock). I'd originally gone for Martha Ann as the 3rd Pocock sister in the photograph I have of my Grandmother (Florence Ethel) with Great-Aunts Jo (Anna Isabel) and Queen.
