Athenia - Nancy Redgers

[DeborahC]

Hi, just looking for some advice on how I can find out more info on what happened to my relative Nancy, her Mother Harriet and sister Eileen. They were on-board the Athenia when it was torpedoed in 1939. Nancy died and I believe Harriet and Eileen were injured.
They were visiting from Canada.

Thanks

Harriet and Eileen born 1915 are on the 1939 but Nancy I suspect is the closed record.

The below link shows the list of people admitted to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow.  Harriet and Eileen are in the list.  You will have to scroll down the page to find their names.

Nancy's death is registered in the GRO Marine Death Indices (1903 To 1965)
