The researcher, Allan Murray, has compiled
a list of 307 casualties, among them whole
families. His list of survivors shows
passengers who originated from Armagh,
Kerry, Cork and Antrim, but those who
perished may well have come from other
counties.
He is looking to explore the lives of all the
passengers, whether they survived or not,
and needs help from other family historians.
“I’m inviting any family historian who has
anecdotal or other evidence of an ancestor
who survived or died in the tragedy to
contribute to the website. There were also a
number of passengers who refused to get
back on the ship after its first aborted
voyage; some travelled to Quebec on the
Sarah Sands and Jane Glassin; their stories
would be welcome, too.”
Sharon Slater from Limerick's Life is nominated.
