Aydan,
Have you checked out the listing at The Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com)? I don't know if it's 'complete', but it's certainly exhaustive. There's also the advantage of being able to easily cross reference with cast members' work in other films.
Otherwise, there is a cast list in William MacQuitty's Titanic Memories: the making of A Night to Remember (National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, 2000, ISBN 0948065362). However, this list is considerably shorter than that available online.

I've tried iMDB and being in Australia I can't get access to William MacQuitty's book

LOL!
Well, that didn't stop me. I've got MacQuitty's book so if you have a specific question...
But what is it exactly you're looking for in the cast list? The IMDB list is a great deal more comprehensive - and useful - than what's in Titanic Memories, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Fiona, Does MacQuitty mention some of the uncredited actors ?

Thanks Richard, however, I think there are some errors. Firstly, Rosamund Greenwood and Jane Downs, not Ann Lancaster, were talking to Kenneth More on the train (thanks to the Making of ANTR for that info). Thanks just the same , though and they forget to list Teresa Thorne as Edith Russell

Aydan,
Thank you for remembering Teresa Thorne. I've been meaning to make mention of her being left out. I can't imagine why she's not listed. During filming in 1957, MacQuitty insisted on a full series of publicity photos showing Thorne with the real Edith Russell - and her pig.
One that you may be aware was displayed by the late Walter Lord in his home. Another, which I only have a newsclipping of, shows the two standing at the foot of the staircase on the movie set. The actress is in costume and Edy is examining it "for accuracy" the cutline says. Yet another press picture I've been told of (but not seen yet)shows Edy with Thorne seated in a lifeboat on the set.

Aydan,
Thanks! Now I know why you're after the full cast list, and the sort of information you're looking for - not that I've got good news for you. It's been a while since I've read Macquitty's Titanic Memories, so I had a quick skim before responding.
The detail you're looking for just isn't in the book. It's an overview of the entire project, from concept to realisation to premiere and beyond. There's very little on the cast, even if it is bolstered with anecdotes about people, many of them featuring the marvellous Edith Russell - what a character!
Most of the photos are from the production: cast, crew, special effects, storyboard, etc. There's also a full reproduction of the film's UK publicity brochure, including a cast list much shorter than that available elsewhere. It's also fair to add that the book is less than 50 pages in length, just under a third devoted to reproducing the publicity brochure.
For what it's worth, the making of ANTR would seem to be the best source of information on the cast. And you've already seen that.
As for the inaccuracy/imcompletion of the list on IMDB: is it still possible to submit updated/corrected information to the site? Several years ago I submitted some changes/updates to cast and crew information for one of the listings there, and it was used. The situation may've changed, but it may be worth a look.
Randy - sadly MacQuitty hasn't used many of those photos you've described above, even if the book is quite well illustrated. I do wish it were a longer work.

Fiona, I'm sure you can submit amendments to the IMDb - I've done so within the past 6 months. They seem very happy to have errors corrected and omissions filled.

Am I correct in spotting George A Cooper as the Carpathia's victualling officer giving details of the reorganisation of accomodation to Captain Rostron as they race towards the Titanic?

Honor Blackman, Mrs Liz Lucas, has her small son with her, you see him in sailor's uniform. He is played by Stephen Lowe the son of Arthur Lowe of Dad's Army fame (Capt. Mainwaring.)
For those who do not watch BBC TV programmes, this is will mean nothing to you I am afraid!

Martin, are you any relation to Lord William Pirrie of Harland and Wolff ?

Isn't it strange that only A Night To Remember prominently features the Californian's role on that night. None of the more recent mini-series or Cameron's blockbuster films even mentions the name Californian. I wonder why.
Tracy Smith

Well, for one thing, the Californian issue would be an entire movie in itself. Cameron's movie was already three hours long. And because he unfortunately chose to emphasize Jack and Rose's story over the actual historical story, he decided some details had to go, the Californian issue being one of them.
