I'm trying to find out if I'm related.
He also served aboard the Olympic. He was found on 4/24 and buried at sea. Near as I can figure, he was born in Norfolk around 1876 and when taking the assignment aboard Titanic, gave his address as 50 Troy Rd, Denys (I THINK Southhampton...not sure). He was married. I've checked places like Ancestry.com and the like, but can't find more than that. Any ideas? Thanx Mandie |

Boothby died in the sinking. His body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett (#107). He was buried at sea on 24 April 1912. "NO. 107. - MALE. - ESTIMATED AGE, 42. - HAIR, FAIR. PROMINENT TEETH.
