Hello all, I want to thank you all for answering my queries on Col Weir. In my study of the Mallinson family, I found only that he may have died on the Titanic. Your site proved that he did die there and also verified - through Helen that "Hattie" Harriet Mallinson was his 2nd wife. Doug, you seem to know a lot about Beatrice so I will assume that May/Mary is the one that died young (MY records) as they say that Harry/Harold went to California. I have Harriet's birth record, at West Cornwall, Connecticut on 27 Jul 1857. West Cornwall is a spit of a town in Northwest CT. She was not married there as her sisters were. She was mentioned in Church records from the 2nd Congregational Church with the writer being worried where the Mallinson children would end up. The indication was that Harriet and children were trapsing through Europe. She is mentioned in her father's obit as living in London, Eng. in 1904 but is she alive at the sinking of the Titanic??? If your stories here are correct, Col. Weir was living in a hotel in London. hummmmm
Is she dead??? Living outside London or New York??? Where did they meet? Maybe in the Berkshires in Massachusetts - the OTHER Newport, RI Thanks for all your help & with all the very best. Mary E
