F. Humby, 17, was born in Hampshire, he was educated at Dr. Barnardo's Naval School for orphans, Watts Naval School, in Norfolk. http://www.trainingships.royalnavy.co.uk/wattsm.htm
When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 4 April 1912, he gave his address as
52 Clarendon Road, (Southampton).
His last ship had been the Hildebrand.
He was listed as 'in charge of plates', would that be in one of the pantries ?, and is there any way to find out which part of the ship he was working in, (first-class)(second-class)ect ?
He received monthly wages of £3 15s
After his death stained glass windows were paid for by the boys at the Naval School, to go into the Watts NavalSchool Church. There is a photo of him on this page.
