    Dear Philip. I hope this message finds you after all these years John Boal was my great grandad on my nans side. I believe he had three daughters Margaret (my Nan) Sarah and Ellen. I was told by my mum that the reason he left the titanic at Southampton was because he received a telegram informing him that his daughter Ellen was seriously ill with tuberculosis I was wondering if you have any more details on any other relatives in the family Kind regards, Carolyn Bryant
