"That next Christmas vacation [1857] I went to spend a few days with the Wigrams at Brighton, where for some years past it had been their habit to spend the four or five winter months. They had taken 82 Marine Parade and it was then I was first introduced not only to Mr and Mrs. Wigram but also to Miss Dennis, commonly known then and since as Denny who had taught Cathy and Fred their letters in years gone by and was still governess to Louisa, the youngest sister then a girl of fifteen, who had her cousin Florence Deedes (now Mrs Saumerer Smith) to share her lessons with her." *Memoirs of John Barton
