I knew Georgie Kane.  She was a neighbour of my Mums here in Millisle Co Down. 
She had a brother called Jimmy.  I seem to remember my mum and Dad saying they visited a museum in NZ somewhere where they had some sailing memorabilia which Georgie's father was mentioned ?  Georgie lived to over 100 years of age and was never married but there are still some cousins etc around.
I live very close to Millisle & Ballycopeland Church and I am also a member of its congregation.
