Notes

  1. Alternatively listed as Angile or Angele.
  2. She is sometimes listed as Ninetta and Ninette. Her birth was registered in Jun 1908 as Nina Violetta (GRO:Fulham:1a,253).
  3. Stringer gives Rahamin's mother's name as Emma Woolf.  Others give Angele's maiden name as Wulff.  If may be that the Emma Woolf compensated by the Relief Funds was her mother.
  4. Despite this she seems to have remained in the UK.  She is listed as a mourner at a funeral in January 1928 (Dover Express and East Kent News 6 Jan 1928). She married George W. Lewis in 1937 and died in Brighton, Sussex in 1979.
  5. Henry John Beal 1972-1959 (died 11 years to the day after Angele). His daughter from an earlier marriage, Kathleen Emily Beal (18 July 1896-1994), married Edwin Payne in 1927 and John E. Addley in 1949.  The Addley family inherited a secretary chest which was found to contain papers relating to the Titanic and the compensation payments made to Angele Moutal.
