Titanic records

In a few short days it is 100 years since Titanic was lost at sea and in recognition of this Ancestry have just launched a set of records relating to this, including survivor list, crew lists, deaths at sea and grave lists.

Some of this information  is very interesting for those of you who have relatives connected with the disaster.

One example of these records is for Charles C Jones, he was referenced as body no. 80.  Estimated to be about 45 years old with light coloured hair.  His clothing is listed as :- evening dress, grey leather lined overcoat and black boots.  And his effects were as follows :- Silver watch with C. C. J., gold pencil, three gold studs, letters, knife, eyeglasses, America Express Co. cheque book.  $19 in bills in back pocket, 13/4 halfpenny and £2 5s 3d in purse.

Charles  of Bennington, Vermont was a 2nd class passenger  and the form was signed for by Jas. H Donnelly.
