RMS Titanic<\/p><\/div>\n

A little while ago I discovered that Harvey is distantly related to three survivors of the Titanic<\/span>. To commemorate the 100th anniversary, Ancestry have released a range of records in relation to the disaster of 1912 .<\/p>\n

Addie Dart Wells (nee Trevaskis)<\/span>, and her two young children, Joan and Ralph Wells<\/span>, were travelling in 2nd class and managed to board life-boat number 14 before being picked up by the Carpathia. Among the records the family can be seen on the Titanic’s Outward Passenger list<\/a><\/strong> and the Carpathia’s Passenger list<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Addie was the great-grand-daughter of Harvey’s 3 x great-grandparents, John Barnes & Ann (nee Dawes)<\/a><\/strong> from Newlyn, Cornwall, near Penzance. Addie was also from Newlyn and would perhaps have known Harvey’s predecessors, his direct line having lived in Newlyn right up to the millennium.<\/p>\n

Another useful website about the Titanic is the Nova Scotia Archives<\/a><\/strong>. The Wells family appear on the document entitled, List of Second Class Passengers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
