Are you sure that you want to be related to him, Dotty?

He pranged the 'Olympic' in New York, then ripped the prow off a warship by colliding with it. Given the command of the world's greatest liner, he then proceeded to ignore basic safety procedures, resulting in a massive loss of life.

Yes he of the Titanic! His wife was Sarah Eleanor PENNINGTON. she was the daughter of Sarah DOOTSON (born 28 Oct, 1828 to Richard and Maria Dootson) and William PENNINGTON. Richard being my 4 x gt grandfather of Thelwell Cheshire!!

My daughter was really genuinely delighted! I think it's quite interesting!

Not memory wolf, just plain ignorance, but I expect wikipedia will solve that too.

Drifting a little, I started doing my family tree. I stopped and trashed it all when I realised a lot of my ancestors topped themselves. Be careful what you want. You may get it.

You should have said 'distantly' craft, no-one would have been able to work out just how distant.
