Painters

[Sasha T]

According to family lore, my grandfather, Charles Cross who was a coach painter by trade, worked on the Titanic in Belfast and was meant to sail with her but changed his mind at the last minute. I can’t find any record of him in the crew or passenger lists. Is there anywhere else I should look?

I wonder if Charles Cross was employed as one of the finishers who worked on Titanic in Belfast Lough but was never meant to sail with her. That would explain why I can’t find his name?
