Hi Bill,
While this site lists him as Conlon, all other sources; Passenger Lists and research that I am aware of give his name as Conlin. The earliest record is the Queenstown Passenger/Ticket List; PRO document BT 27/776; which has Thos H. Conlin.
According to Senan Molony author of The Irish Aboard Titanic Conlin was returning to America. His address is given as 2238 North Fairhill Street, Philadelphia.
I hope this helps,
Lester

According to his birth certificate, CONLON, is the correct spelling.

Hey Lester,
Let me stall you a little while on that one--am still doing some research gathering on him and some from his general area of Ireland. A little down the line I'll have make his (and a bunch of others) public.

Philip if and when you have information on this passenger, I would greatly appreciate any information. My name ***Conlon*** is frequently misspelled as ***Conlin*** or ***Conlan***. Thanks again.

Hi Philip,
A while back you posted that you were gathering information on Thomas H. Conlin about the Titanic. You indicated that you had his birth certificate and other information. I am very interested, as I believe I might be related. My g-g-grandmother was named Margaret Conlin from Arva - born between 1820 and 1840. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]

I realize these messages were written years ago, but am wondering if any new facts have been discovered. Thomas was living with my great grandfather, Edward Conlin, and other family on Fairhill St in Philadelphia in 1900 and 1910. He is listed as Edward’s “nephew”. I have not been able to discover anything else about him. I have recently been trying to find out who he was visiting in Arvagh from December 1911 until he sailed on the Titanic. Any info, thoughts, ideas, are greatly appreciated.

Hello! I would love to know when the information on Thomas was updated . I have been researching my cousin for years and have the information about his time in Philadelphia documented on my Ancestry.com tree. I have never been able to find his family in Ireland and would love to have references about his Uncle John to further research. Anything you can do will be so appreciated. Eileen

Hi Philip and Eileen. Any further updates or confirmation on the spelling of Thomas’s name? My last name is CONLON and I would love to research him to see if there is any chance of a family connection. My grandparents immigrated from Ireland; I think that would so cool if we were related! But Eileen you believe the spelling to be CONLIN and Philip believes it is CONLON. Philip, I hope you are right!

Hi Bill! All of the records that I have for Thomas, which I admit are few, have him listed as Conlin. (Sorry!) My grandmother, who would have been a cousin of his, was Margaret Conlin. Thomas lived with her grandfather, Edward Conlin, and other cousins, all spelled with an ‘i’. You can refer to a post of mine from 2018 for further information.
After having said this, I came across an interesting fact. Edward Conlon has been referred to as a cousin in my family. He actually left a bit of money to my great aunt to help take care of her mother (Conlin). Also Edward was from County Cavan, Ireland, which is where my Conlin’s were known to have come from. So, it may well be that we are all right and are all cousins!
I am always happy to share family information because I know these people are related to so many of us and not just mine. It’s fun to connect with others and research together. If anyone out there has further facts about Thomas, I know we would all be excited to share them. Maybe then we can answer whatever questions remain.
Great to hear from you, Bill
PS, I had a cousin Bill Conlin!

Thanks Eileen. i find the “CONLIN” - “CONLON” relationship very interesting. I wonder what the story is behind all of this. I think things were very different in this era. it seems there were a lot of name changes for various reasons. Perhaps you are right and we are all related!
I am going to Halifax early next month to visit their museum. Very excited to go. Next on the list is Belfast. That appears to be the big one. I live in Las Vegas where the “big piece“ is on display at the Titanic Exhibit in the Luxor Casino. Anything and everything Titanic fascinates me.
Thanks again Eileen.

Bill. I have always found the Titanic to be fascinating. I found out when I was about 7 that my family had a relative on the ship. I remember that my Mom had the Walter Lord book and showed me Thomas’s name and that is when I was hooked!
Have a great time in Halifax! That sounds like an exciting trip! I don’t know if you can post photos on this site, but that would be fun. Enjoy and let’s keep in touch. We may yet solve the “Conlon - Conlin” mystery! Eileen
