| There can be confusion with 'Lizzie Jardine' - it is not a common name, but it was also the maiden name of Lizzie's sister-in-law. Jill Fleming points out the government's police boat cutter at Somerset, the 'Lizzie Jardine', was named after the original Lizzie nee Jardine, and not Lizzie nee M-P. That first Lizzie Jardine was 'noted for her beauty [and] married Colonel Wilbraham',((//Cairns Post//, 5 December 1940)) actually Colonel Arthur Bootle-Wilbraham. The marriage took place at the fashionable church for weddings in London - St. George Hanover Square - on 19 July 1875.(([[https://www.geni.com/people/Colonel-Arthur-Bootle-Wilbraham/6000000035109671028]])) From his diary entry when TLM-P met up with Lizzie Bootle-Wilbraham at his daughter Rosie's home, at some stage he had asked her to marry him. After commenting on her 'same sweet smile', he wrote that 'Whilst she was talking I was thinking of the old days and what a difference it would gave made in both our lives if she had. [Wisely, given his wife would probably read his diary, he added] Hope she is as satisfied with her lot as I am.' Perhaps she was thinking the same or he became more cautious in his diary entries, as the next day Lizzie again visited Rosie but, while again displaying her 'nice smile', TLM-P found her 'thin and subdued looking'.((TLM-P, Diary 18-19 July 1882)) | There can be confusion with 'Lizzie Jardine' - it is not a common name, but it was also the maiden name of Lizzie's sister-in-law.
