Barbara married William Ernest B. Dainton in 1952 and lived in Truro, England.

Mrs Dainton refused to discuss the disaster, saying she wanted "nothing to do with the Titanic people", however did keep in contact with the British Titanic Society.

Mrs Dainton died on 16th October 2007 and her funeral service took place at Truro Cathedral on 5th November 2007.

Notes
1. The third child was a daughter. It was long speculated she married a bank clerk in later life and settled in the Bahamas where her husband pursued a promising and successful career in the Prime Minister's Office. The identity of this third daughter is unclear, but it is known she died at a young age of cancer.
