I am researching Frederick Doel (my husband's great uncle) Fireman on board Titanic. Frederick's step brother Charles OLIVE (Greaser) was also onboard but unfortunately perished in the disaster. From an obituary in the Southampton Echo - I have the following "at 20, Richmond St; Frederick...

Have any of you met any descendants of him? According to the obituary from Southern Evening Echo November 21 1960 he had two children and one grandchild: LINDSAY-Charles William (Bill) of 159 Manor Farm road, loving Dad of Mabel and Fred and dear Grand-dad of Sylvia, passed away suddenly on...

Hi All Researching the career of my grandfather and need to find the ships he served on before the Titanic. The signing on sheet states that he served on the Olympic before the Titanic, but when searching the Olympic crew list on this site, his name is missing.....can anybody help? Kind...

Possible relation to me. Does anyone have any info on G. Rickman. My genealogy of my Rickmans takes me back to Milford G. Rickman stated he was born. Are there any Rickman's on this board, that would be interesting.

I discovered today that one of my colleagues is a relative of Richard Hosgood, a fireman who died in the sinking. His bio can be found here on this site. I found it quite an eerie experience, realising that someone I've known for some time is actually related to a crew member! I don't know...

Hi, This is a bit of a long shot. My mother was from Liverpool and I always heard that she lost an uncle on the Titanic. She referred to him as a stoker and though she could not remember his name, she told me it sounded like Curry. The only lead I had was that he married Kate Jennings a...

This could be in the wrong folder... but could anybody tell me if a "stoker" and a "fireman" on a ship is the same thing? Researching the crew lists here on ET, I find a lot of "firemen" but no "stokers". Thanks in advance!

hi im just wondering if the stokers had to wear any uniform

I thought that it would be interesting to post this information, I was off the board for two weeks and have not read any threads yet. Phil told me that my Olympic article had been accessed 12,000 times which astonished and pleased me. I got off a train from Liverpool yesterday, with...

Hi Folks, I'm brand new to this board. I'm writing a novel based on the Titanic. I'm trying to find out what songs the stokers on board Titanic would likely have sung. Any ideas, tips or info out there? Thanks, Woody

(oh MY)... What, if any, is the difference between a stoker, a firemen, and a trimmer? And what exactly was the job of each? Probably an elementary question I know, but I'm clueless. Beckey

I was wondering if anyone had any information about William McQuillan, a fireman on Titanic. He is buried at Fairview cemetery in Halifax. Thanks Melissa

In “The Riddle of the Titanic” (Robin Gardiner, Van Der Vat) it is said that "only one of the firemen serving the great boilers on the preliminary run from Belfast to Southampton signed on again for the maiden voyage. The rest, even though they must have been short of money as a result of the...

Can anyone tell me how I can find out the Spouse and children information on a Fireman on board. My mother said, her mother told her that her father left to board a ship that would never sink, never to return. The fireman is E. Williams. My grandmother was only 12, the same year the Titanic...

Hello dear people, I have read some books long time ago with a little story about Titanic. In those two books, the firemen in the forward boilerrooms were locked up during the collision cause of the closing of the watertight doors. The horrible story said they drowned. I was wondering if...

A paper by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers indicates that Fireman John Dilley testified at both inquiries: It does not appear that Dilley testified at either hearing. He is not on the list of witnesses for either inquiry: Witnesses Called to Testify Before the Wreck...

Hey all. Whilst reading the Ulster Titanic Society web page today, i noticed that there was a fireman named William Murdoch. Does anyone know if he was any relation to the First Officer? Mike Napier
