Hello Jim and Michael -
This is admittedly a rather old comment on an old thread that I'm refering to :

Michael-
>> know for a fact that such instruments exist today because I've seen them in use on the bridge of the USS Comstock. What I'm not sure of is the source of the data they use but I suspect it may be either GPS or SINS.<<

I'll have to admit my "Bridge Experience" on the USS Kenneth Whiting was solely to check out the radar repeater, so I wasn't aware of any other instruments. But that was way back in the dark ages of the previous century.

Jim-
>>that is by establishing two correct, exact positions and measuring or calculating the distance between them then applying lapsed time.<<

I've checked my car's speedometer by using a stopwatch between mile markers. For example at 60MPH it should take exactly 60 seconds between mile markers. But even my relatively cheap GPS gives me accurate speed readings of the car.

To Frank Nesson. With regard to your quest to identify your great-uncle's body, many of those victims who could not be identified were buried at sea and only about half the victims' bodies were found so I fear that you were not successful.

By the way as a fellow-Titanic enthusiast and being Jewish, I've compiled a list of passengers who were probably Jewish and I've included your great-uncle. I assume he was - I think that there were about 60-70 Jewish passengers.

We are the family of Marion Kenyon. Mrs George P Baldwin was my great grandmother.

 

[Kathy Langager]

Kenyon's are our family. Marion was my fathers great aunt.

My great grandmother was mrs George P Baldwin. We would like to connect if possible: Kathylangager@aol.com

I am researching my family history and my ancestors Frederick R. Kenyon and Marion (Stauffer) Kenyon were on the Titanic. Frederick went down with the ship and Marion was saved on lifeboat 8. I need more information on Marion. I don't know much about her but she had a sister Mrs. George P. Baldwin of Oak Park, Chicago. After the sinking Marion went to Santa Monica, CA where she died. If there are any relatives of Marion out there I would really like to hear from you!

Thanks for inviting me back, Phil. I'll post a link on my Facebook group page for TITANIC IMPACT PERFORMANCE EXHIBITIONS and encourage people to visit.

Reference 2nd class passenger John Denzil Jarvis. I believe that this passenger is my father's uncle. My father, Ernest George Jarvis, has always told me about an uncle who went down on the Titanic. My father, who is still alive at 91 tells me that his father was born in Leicester and his name was Ernest Herbert Jarvis. He died when my father was two months old. Ernest Herbert Jarvis is buried near Bedlinog (Dowlas Top). He married Alice Gertrude Lant (buried at Llandovery). As far as I know Ernest Herbert Jarvis had a sister called Gweneth, who was a teacher in Leicester and another brother who's name I do not know but was an architect and lived on the Leicester to London Road.

Hoping to contact Richard Jarvis, I know it's years since he posted this but we have only just come across this information. We have traced the Jarvis family through Wales and established the connection with the Titanic and how John Denzil Jarvis and Ernest George Jarvis were related, but our main focus is Alice.

Alice Gertrude Lant was my husband's grand aunt. He and his cousin who were both born in Llandovery would like to find out what happened to her. Her son Ernest George Jarvis was Baptised in St Mathias Church Treharris, (which is near Bedlinog) 9 Jan 1910, this was almost two years after the death of his father Ernest Herbert Jarvis registered in Merthyr Tydfil July 1908. The last definite information we have about Alice is 29 June 1917 when she registered the death of her mother. Both were living at 3 Chapel Street, Treorchy at that time.

Alice's niece told us that Alice is buried in Llandovery alongside her father George Lant. We know where his grave is but it's unmarked and to date enquiries with the Vicar have failed to trace Alice's burial there. However, we have no idea when she died or her surname at the time.

Any contact from Richard Jarvis or anyone who knows him or how to contact him would be greatly appreciated.

Shot in the dark - but hey, you saw my post and replied within 48 minutes. I assumed others would see my interest and jump in. Mahalo

 

[Mark Baber]

you saw my post and replied within 48 minutes.

Yeah, but that's my job.

;-)

Maybe there's something in the part of the Board dealing with Wilde that answers your question.

Hello Kathy,
Would that be Mrs Frederick Roland Kenyon?

I have managed to obtain a copy of a poem entitled 'A Fathers Tribute - How gentlemen can die'. It was written by the father of Edward Everett Elliott (A.J.Elliot) who by searching this site I have found out was a trimmer in the engineering dept and is buried in Fairview cemetery in Halifax,Canada. I would be very interested in any information anyone may have about either Elliott, his father/family and whether anyone else has heard the poem. The third verse of the poem is inscribed on Elliotts headstone. In particular I was wondering if ROBERT KNUCKLE had any more information as I understand he has visited the cemetery. Please e-mail me with your comments at k-mordsl@nimr.mrc.ac.uk Thanks

I dint imagine you will read this message but if anyone does and is intersted in Everett Edward Elliott and his father who wrote the poem this wonderful poem...he has written many more Greek few to email me at tmainiero@gmail.com O am invested in learning more about Everett Edward Elliott and sharing all of the info I have compiled over the years in his father the poet!
