I have only a bit of the info re: Lawrence’s daughter Margaret and her marriage to Martin Hopkins, plus their descendants, after she returned from America. I am in contact with Margaret’s grandson also named Martin Hopkins regarding a novel I am writing about her years in NYC. It’s purely historical fiction, though, as she didn’t talk much about that time, her grandson tells me.
My mother was a Manion and we recently visited Ireland for the Mannion Clan reunion in Galway. I learned about Margaret and her fateful trip on the Titanic just before that visit and have been planning since then. Her father died 8 months after she came to USA.
