Bridget Hi, Glad it was useful.
There is a publication available from Southampton Libraries Listing all the Titanic Death Notices the address is Southampton Main Library, Civic Centre, Southampton, its best if you write for the details cost, postage etc., enclose a sae for a reply.
Here is a copy of the list of grades and the money paid out:
The scale of the Titanic Relief Fund Allowances was as follows: All payments - per week.
Class A. (Officers and Engineers) Widow £2 0s 0d, children 7/6d.
Class B. (Saloon Stewards and Bedroom Stewards) Widow £1 12s 6d, children 6/3d.
Class C. (Lower Class Stewards, Catering, Boots, Bakers, Bedroom Stewards) Widow £1 7s 6d, children 5/6d.
Class D. (Stewards) Widow £1 0s 0d, children 3/6d.
Class E. (2nd Class Stewards, Stewardesses, Senior Firemen) Widow 17/6d, children 2/6d.
Class F. (Greasers) Widow 15/0d, children 2/6d.
Class G. Firemen, Scullions, lower class Stewards) Widow 12/6d, children 2/6d. (
It does not seem today to be a great deal of money but back in 1912 it was and the pension made a very great difference to the lifestyles of the recipients.
Next question?
