Whilst doing some research into my family tree, in some parish church baptism records I came across a Mr & Mrs Fish who named their son George Dolphin Fish. I guess zoology wasn't their strong point. Amongst his siblings were two brothers: John Pilot Fish* and Salmon Fish. His sisters were more sensibly named: Sarah Fish, Rachel Elizabeth Fish and Ellen Sophia Fish He was born in 1840. In 1863 he married Harriette Bird! NB: They aren't relations of my mine. * I wonder whether they were thinking of the pilot whale, which is, in fact, a species of dolphin.

As you say zoology was, perhaps, not their strong point. Aren't pilot whales and dolphins, in fact air breathing mammals, not fish? Whereas the salmon is, indeed, a fish. (I've often thought, shouldn't zoology actually be spelled zooology, maybe hyphenated zoo-ology?) Passing thoughts certainly can be illuminatingly illogical, leaving one feeling, somehow, ill-at-ease. Donchathink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
