I have understood that John was the older brother of Leslie, so he must be older than 18, maybe one of the other members does know his age.
About other possible teenagers, I don't have no idea who, I think there are some more. Maybe one or both of the lift attendants, or one of the other assistant cooks. Possible a few among the trimmers and firemen and among the stewards and waiters.

I think there must be some more, but if they were no more teenagers among the crew I would like to know too, because than I have to ask this not again.
By the way is there something known about the age of the following crew members:
Marian May Bird
Elizabeth Ross Morris Dewhurst
Ellen Hughes
Margaret Hull
Elizabeth Machell
Fanny Moorcroft
Mary Phillips
M. Leitch
Vernon Livermore
William Barnes
Edward Shay
Joseph Duncan

Hi - Florence Sikking - later described as Mr. Florence Alfred Sikking was possibly my father,
actual name Florence Alfred Zikking born Liverpool 1896 or 1897. I believe this person could be my father because of the Christian names
(unusual for a man) and the similarity of the surnames. I am trying to find ANYTHING I can about the possibility that this was my father, having only heard of the connection last Friday.
If anyone knows anything at all please contact me?
Thanks - Wendy |
