Anton Ferrary

Anton (or Antonio) Ferrary¹ was born in Mexico² in about 1879. His father Louis was a butcher.

Anton appears to have moved first to the US and then to the UK in the early 1900s - he does not appear on the 1901 UK Census.

On 24 Aug 1908 when 29 years old he married Annie Frances Foyle (born 9 July 1886, died 1959). The marriage was conducted at the South Stoneham Register Office. The marriage certificate lists Annie's father as a Master Plasterer and Antonio's profession as Plasterers Labourer. At the time of their marriage the couple lived at 19 Condor Road, Woolston then a suburb of Southampton.

The couples' first child George John Anthony was born 7 June 1909 (died 14 Jun 1982) and a second son Sidney Henry was born in 8 March 1911 (died 29 Jan 1967).

At the time of the 1911 Census the family were living in three rooms at 7 Condor Road. The Census form was completed and signed by Annie and she listed Anton's forename as "Thomas" and said he was a US resident. It is likely that she did this either to avoid prejudice or for work permit reasons. Anton was still working as a Plasterer`s Labourer.

By 1912 when Anton signed on the Titanic the family had moved to 38 St Mary's Place, Chapel, Southampton.  Before joining the Titanic his previous ship was the Oceanic.

Following the disaster, Annie Ferrary remarried in 1916 to Albert Charles Pope (1886-1959) and had three further children.
