Hi Karenlee,
Thank you for the reply, i just found that his address at joining the ship was given as Ruby Road Southampton, so it could well be the family you have given for the 1901c they or Percy may have  there,

Hi

RIGBY Road sounds much better than RUBY Road


Percy Edward Keen / Adelaide Martha J White
1908  S.Stoneham   Q3 2c 150

Kathleen Frances Ellen Keen
1910 Southampton  Q3 2c 51


Try searching 1911 for Adelaide/Kathleen/Percy, we cannot do it for you.

Remembering the Rootschat policy of no living links, can we get you any closer to your relative?

Hi Ray and Bearkat,

Thank you both so much for the information you have supplied and put the records straight, it was down as Ruby road on the Titanic survior list page, Percy was a survivor of the ship, i was told he is was a relation of mine, hopefully his fathers birth record can prove it, thank you so much both,
Jaz

Percy Edward Keen was my Great Grandfather. His daughter Kathleen was my Grandmother. Her son Charles was my father.
