Mrs Alice Frances Christy (née Jones)

Mrs Alice Frances Christy (nee Jones) was born in Kent, England.

In 1885 she married Moreno Joshua Cohen and they had two daughters Juli Rachel (born 1887) and Amy Frances (born 1888).  Moreno Cohen died in early 1890.  Alice remarried to Frederick Alexander Christy in 1902.

She was travelling to Montreal, Canada with her daughters Juli Rachel and Amy and her husband Sidney Jacobsohn. They boarded the Titanic at Southampton as second class passengers (ticket number 237789, £30)

They were accompanied by Sidney and Alice's other daughter Amy Jacobsohn (nee Cohen), who were also on their way to California (via Canada).

Mrs Alice Christy and her daughters survived the sinking. They were rescued by the Carpathia in lifeboat 12.

On the Carpathia she sent a telegram to France:

Mrs Christy had a relative in England, her brother-in-law, Mr Roth, 29 Walpole Road, Twickenham.

The party, consisting of Alice and Julie Christy and Mrs Amy Jacobsohn, returned to England on board of the Megantic on 11 May 1912.
