Can someone help with more biographical information about the two Witt men who died in the Titanic. I want to know more about F Witt the Trimmer and more on Henry Dennis (Harry) Witt the fireman. For Harry I need to know more about who his grandfather was- I have read the biographical details on his parents and brothers and sisters. Reason for interest- my grandmother was a Witt before marriage came from Southampton and believed that she was related to one of them. I just don't know which Witt. It would be great to find out.

I show only one Witt listed in my records aboard the Titanic:
Mr Henry Dennis Witt

He was born on Monday 14th December 1874
When the Titanic sank Henry Dennis Witt was aged 37 years
He was single. His last residence was at 28 Lower College Street Southampton Hampshire England
Occupation: Fireman / Stoker
Last Ship: Oceanic
He signed-on to the Titanic Engine crew at Southampton
Witt died in the sinking. His body was never recovered .

I will look for a F Witt in other referencs. But I see no trimmer named Witt as of now.

It does not show a listing for a Witt F. but the U.S. Senate Inquiry http://www.titanicinquiry.org/index.html does list a
#15 Witt, F. St. Michael's House, Southampton. Trimmer
of the Engine Department

This is interesting as the encyclopedia-titanica is thought to be the most accurate list. There can be many reasons but at this time I will research why the lists do not match up. I can see a mistake made by the U.S. Senate's list as a more reasonable answer but I will report back my findings. Has anyone else noticed this discrepancy? Anyone else care to help research this?

witt ive heard that name before, was he wealthy
