Wow--sighting of VC Scott O'Connor

Vincent Clarence Scott O'Connor, who had a career in the Indian Civil Service, travelled extensively in the Cyclades in 1929: in his book Isles of the Aegean (published by Hutchinson) he described his meetings with families of Venetian descent living on Santorino:
I was looking for Santorino as a surname for a character I am creating.
It's an island.
