Mrs Sidney Samuel Jacobsohn (Amy Frances Cohen), 24, from 7 Pembridge Square, London and also born in London, England, boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a second class passenger together with her husband Sidney Samuel Jacobsohn. To reach their destination Montreal, Canada, they bought ticket number 243847 for £27. They were accompanied by Mrs Christy and her daughter Julie, who were also on their way to Canada.

Mrs Jacobsohn survived the sinking. She was rescued by the Carpathia in lifeboat 12.

On the Carpathia she sent a telegram to her husband's parents:

Together with the Christys, she returned to England on board of the Megantic on 11 May 1912.

Notes
She was also listed as Amy Frances Christy, that suggests she may have been another daughter of Mrs Christy.
