Engineer Shepherd

[Pedro Soares]

Hello. I learned that the engineer Shepherd was in Boiler Room no. 5 when he broke a leg. Could anyone tell me if he was abandoned there? Did he died?

There's a biography of Jonathan Shepherd in TE. Type in his name in the search box.

 

[Chris Dohany]

George Behe has mentioned this tidbit in the past, I believe. I think leading fireman Threlfall indicated that Shepherd was removed from the boiler room entirely, rather than being placed in the adjacent pump room.

Thank you, George and Martin!

I was just doing a little research into Titanic people from my main characters locality and found a rather well known chap (at least in the Titanic community) from my own!

I know his biography is on ET, but I'm interested in finding out more about this fellow.
Can anyone tell me a good place to start looking?

PS~ Moderators: I am aware that there is already a thread on this individual, but it is lacking the information I require and is locked.
Thanks.

Anyone giz a tip?

Does anyone know who Jonathon Shepherd's family were? I am interested in parents and siblings, trying to see if he was a possible cousin. My grandfather was 5 when Titanic sank and remembers a cousin who was on board, my aunt thought the cousin survived and worked as an engineer, but the details could have been forgotten over time. Thanks...

Rae, some additional details are given in Craig Stringer's CD "Titanic People". Jonathon's parents were James B and Johanna Shepherd. He had 3 sisters: Frances, Margaret H and Ruth Dixon Shepherd. He broke a leg on the night of the disaster and died when Titanic sank. I suspect Brian Ticehurst may be in a position to provide some further details. Tony

Hello Ryan and Rae, have just read your thread. My mother is Jonathan's niece, we are the family of his brother Joseph. Maybe I can help with any further family details. Brian T has been a huge help over the years too.

Hello Barbara!
Sorry about the punctuality of my reply, but I had forgotten about my queries here for a time.
Could you at all tell me where his family lived exactly?

 

[Barbara J. Davies]

Hi Rae, have sent further info to your e-mail address. Hope it helps!

 

[Ryan McKeefery]

Thanks, Barbara. What you sent will come in handy to my research, and I hope to be bothering you again soon )
