William Gilbert b. 1864
« on: Monday 10 July 23 19:18 BST (UK) »
William Gilbert was baptized on December 25th, 1864. His parents are Thomas and Elizabeth. He is listed on 1871 Census and resides with his siblings and parents. I dont know what happened to him According to family lore, he sailed on the RMS Titanic. I would like confirming what happened to him and if he really a passenger of the Titanic.

Thanks ahead of time.
