When my mother was a child she was told that her Aunt Biddy was the widow of an officer (?) lost on The Titanic. She had no idea of his name and there is no one left alive to ask who might know - in any case my grandmother's side of the family were slightly at odds with my grandfather's after his death in 1929.
My great aunt's maiden name was Bridget Feeney, she was born in South Shields in 1884 and was probably living already living in Liverpool. I have no idea of her first husband's name because she married again and no one knows her second husband's name either. When my mother knew her, she had no children though I understand there was a little girl who died.
Can anyone help? I know experts have the most amazing info tucked away in filing cabinets or data bases. I am a bit suspicious of the officer claim because the family were not middle class or well off. However, I would say that in following up what little my mother could tell me in other aspects of family history, the information she had is usually accurate, so fingers crossed.
Thank you.
