Yes, it's a bit embarrassing really, but skeletons have a nasty habit of tumbling out of closets when you go rummaging and disturb the mothballs!

Bousicault's father, Dr. Dionysius, also managed to father some legitimate children, and a descendant from one of these lines was an E.G. Dion Lardner, a contemporary of my grandfather and inscribed his book "Soldiering and Sport in Uganda 1909-1910" to his 'cousin'... gramps! I haven't actually documented the factual link yet, but I'm working on it!
