Birthplace
I've found a second obituary which identifies Bochsa's birthplace as Prague, Bohemia (in those days). It's The Late Chevalier Bochsa Empire, Sydney 9 January, 1856 (sourced to Gazette), at Trove. Bochsa was on tour with his paramour and partner of 17 years' duration, Anna Bishop. She clearly took a personal hand in the funeral arrangements, including commissioning the statuesque grave monument. It is inconceivable that the undertakers and press would not have consulted her on details for obituary and panegyric purposes. He is known to have moved to Paris as a young child, but an intimate companion like Bishop would have known his true birthplace. Admittedly not a fully-verified source, but surely preferable to the statements in French Wikipedia and the ADB which offer no verification whatever. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 18:05, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
