John Boyd-1st Class Saloon Steward

[Simon Boyd]

I am looking into my family and we know very little about my Great Grandfather John Boyd apart from what is already on ET. We are trying to find photos or any connections with other Saloon Stewards. We have already made 1 connection and really want to try and find out about more, ideally a photo if possible. If anyone has anything at all connected to John Boyd please do get in touch. Thanks

Hi Simon
My great grandpa Alfred Boyd was John Boyd’s older brother, and my grandma spoke of John’s tragic death on the Titanic when we were children. I don’t have any photos of Alfred or John, but I was wondering if you had found any over the last three years since you posted your message on this site.
Kind regards

Hi Annie,

thanks so much for your email. I never thought I would hear anything. I don’t have photos but would love to piece th puzzle together of my fathers side of the family. Do you know if there is a way I can send my number to you as it would be great to have a chat if possible.

Hi Kurt,

You mentioned that your grandad was in born in 1936, am I reading this right as if so this was some time after Titanic went down and I can’t see how they can be the same person? Please do message me on the conversations thread though as the connections do seem to be very similar in terms of name and history.

All the best,
Simon

Thanks

Hi Kurt,

I did send a follow up message directly, not on this chat, can I ask if you got that?

 

[Simon Boyd]

My apologies, I had a typo and will update it on my records as 2001, not 2000.

Your grandad would have been the same generation as my dad, Alan James Boyd. Do you use Ancestry at all? There are many blanks in the Boyd family tree which I will like to try and find out about which tie in with your great grandparents. Please do message me if you would like to see more of the family tree and if you would be interested in helping.

All the best,
Simon

What cabins was he in charge of?

Hi, I am afraid that i don't know what cabins he was in charge of. There are very little documents relating to my great grandfather.
