A very distant rellie was a survivor on the Titanic. On one of the Ancestry newsletters I had received had a picture of Maud, she had celebrated her 21st on the Titanic. Maud had been nominated by one of her rellies as woman of the month.

Hi All

A Cousin? of my fathers was a survivor of the Titanic disaster she was Amy Zillah Elsie Stanley of Wolvercote born 1888. Aparently her story was in the February edition of the family historian, I wish I could see it.

Excellent link Julie. I have saved it for future reference as there is a family on there with the same surname as one of mine and also from the same area. Maybe them maybe not but can check it out when i get to that part of the family.

I have sat in this park and the Titanic memorial is very moving...many of the crew and staff were from Southampton.

About 3 or 4 of the people who were on the Britannic when it sank were on the Titanic 4 years earlier.

Hi Rosie
Yes it's an interesting link, I also like the photo that Lee posted, such a touching memorial. The link Julie found too regarding the titanic passengers was really interesting , just been reading that.
The dogs are fine thanks Rosie, all enjoying themselves in the park when we go "walkies". How are your dogs?
