[Thudnut]

Hi again.
My apologies in advance, but I just have to share this with someone before I burst!!

As posted, my wife's great great uncle was Sidney Daniels, a third class steward who survived the sinking of the Titanic.

Well, through a well-known Genes Connecting website, I have just made contact with his daughter!!

I am just soooo excited.  I'll let you all know how it goes.
Thanks for listening, and sorry for bursting!

  (unlike certain family members I could mention!!   ).

Yes how come that happens there's always one or two members in the family that is totally uninterested in the Family tree !!

My lot too, including the ever-suffering Mrs B. I wouldn't care but I've taken her tree back 100 years further than mine! She says there is something wierd about people who spend so much time stalking round cemeteries!!!

Well done thudnut.

This passenger on the Titanic is a distant relative of my husband. McCrae, Mr. Arthur G.
He was on his way to propose to his girlfriend and I believe the ring was found in his pocket (He drowned  and his body was recovered     ).

I originally went looking as another family researcher had made mention that "a radio operator on the Titanic was a distant relative". I didn't ever find the radio operator but I found Arthur as a second class passenger.

PS It always seems to be my husband's family with the intriguing family history. He is not vaguely interested - but he does visit cemeteries with me and take the photographs - his interest being photography.

Hi Pauline
I know what you mean, one Aunt an Uncle went on a cruise some years ago and they let slip that my Aunt was related to Arthur H  and they were treated like royalty, i havent the heart to tell them that maybe we are not related to him 
where are your Rostrons fom?

Hi Lynn,

Edward Rostron 1817-1884 Newchurch - Waterfoot area married Maria Burslem. They had quite a few children...

Edward, Maria, Thomasine, Dora Isabella, Butterworth, Frances Maria and Louisa.

Edward was a Felt Carpet Manufacturer of some standing! Haven't as yet gathered much about him pre Maria.

But along the way I have come across a lot of Rostron's who all have the same claim to fame   I guess no harm - no foul  what do you say!!
