Ada Florence Banks seems to have met William Murdoch on board the Runicin 1903 - the New Zealander joined the vessel in Sydney, en route to the UK.
Following Murdoch's death, Ada returned to Christchurch, NZ (date unknown - she appears in 1917 electoral rolls). She lived quietly there with her father and unmarried sisters, her father and one sister dying in 1923, the other in 1932. She inherited Murdoch's estate, life insurance, and a small stipend from the Titanic disaster fund - this last ceasing in 1929. In 1939, in poor health, she went into a Christchurch nursing home and passed away on 21 April 1941. Susanne Stormer has written most extensively about Ada and her post-Titanic life, most notably in A Career at Sea.
