The Merrick Ghost

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

Was re-reading Falconer's Lure and was struck by Patrick's description of the family ghost that walks outside his bedroom - can someone who's read the historicals tell me whether the ghost appears (so to speak) in those? Or is the ghost one of the characters from the historicals?

Any help appreciated!

He was real, too, though his name was probably Gelly rather than Gilly (which I always pronounce with a hard G, though I have no idea if that's right).

Goodness, I just googled and found a whole page on the origins of the surname Merrick. It's Welsh, they say, from Meuric.
