WDYTYA researchers take a good deal of care in following up records, so it was a pity that Jane Rackham of the Radio Times in her Pick of the Day piece on 20th August wasn't so careful.  She managed to confuse two of Jonnie Peacock's ancestors, both named Louisa and wrote that Louisa Pope b 1885 and not her grandmother Louisa Voss b c1831 was the mother of 4 illegitimate children.  Louisa Voss is the one we call "naughty Louisa" for obvious reasons and was the half-sister of my 4xgt-grandmother.
