Mrs Elizabeth Anne Wilkinson
"Mrs Harry Faunthorpe" (Mrs Elizabeth "Lizzie" Anne Wilkinson), 29, was born in Manchester, England, where her father, Mr W.H. Wilkinson, lived at Marefield House, Paintlett.
She boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a second class passenger and the "wife" of Harry Faunthorpe. However, it is thought that she was in fact his mistress. To reach their destination Philadelphia, they bought ticket number 2926 for £26.
Mrs Wilkinson survived the sinking. She was rescued by the Carpathia in lifeboat 16. After arriving in New York, she went to her cousin John Devine at 669 Brooklyn Street, Philadelphia.
