Thank you Brendan.
 I just wondered if the book mentions the rest of his family who also drowned on the Leinster and the Carlow connection?
Kind regards.

Tom,
No, that is the only Hobson reference in the book.

Lieutenant Nathaniel James Fennell Hobson, 5 Battalion King's Liverpool Regiment.
You wanted to know of any family members lost with the above on the sinking of the RMS Leinster.
I'm sorry this is all a bit delayed but I have just joined rootschat and noticed the post.  You may have the answer by now!
He was travelling with his 10 year old son Richard and his sister Lily and they both died.   Nathaniel Hobson was my grandfather although obviously I never knew him.  One of his four sons Cecil was my father and he was only 3 months old when Nathaniel died.  So he really never knew him either.  My father died in 1991.
If you need any more info please let me know and I will try to assist!
