The Common Room / Passenger list seems incomplete, Lusitania 1914
« on: Tuesday 06 April 21 12:01 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in some passengers who went on the Lusitania, New York to Fishguard (and Liverpool), departing 19 May 1914. On Ancestry I found 584 passengers on the manifest (on 13 sheets). But according to the summary sheet, there seem to have been about 1300 passengers for Liverpool and 390 for Fishguard =c.1700 total. So the roster of names is apparently not complete.
For example, all the listed aliens (Americans and others) are travelling 1st class, but the summary sheet seems to show there were 2nd and 3rd class aliens too, so why are they not recorded?
Or am I misunderstanding something?
This is an issue for me because the list is missing one of the people, surname Russell, that I am interested in. I'd be grateful if anyone can help.

Thank you very much for this great information. Sorry for the duplicate post. I wasn't sure who would see this if only under Essex.

England / NOBLE, Charles Rider
« on: Friday 24 February 12 04:37 GMT (UK)  »
Charles Rider NOBLE was a theatre manager in Northampton as well as an early cameraman.
He was born in Roydon, Essex, in 1854 (exact date unknown) son of Richard G. Noble, age 47 and Eliza Jessie Noble (nee Rider) age 31.
He died 6 July or 27 July 1914 in Upminster, Essex, aged 60.
Can anyone supply any more information about him, including such details as name of his grandparents?

Hello Bobfilm: I've long been researching early cameraman, Joseph Rosenthal, who was from east London. He became a cameraman for Charles Urban and filmed the Boer War among other things. If you find anything on him (or on his sister, Alice, who also worked for Urban) I'd be interested to hear.

Isle of Man / Re: WW1 Internment Camp at Knockaloe
« on: Saturday 23 April 11 10:42 BST (UK)  »
I am doing some research into a Hungarian man, Oszkár János Rausch, born in Budapest on 22 May 1884 (he claimed). He lived in the UK from about 1910 under the name Oscar John Raush, and was the manager of an early film company called Selsior in London from about 1912 to 1914. Then during the First World War he was interned as an enemy alien in Knockaloe camp on the Isle of Man. His prisoner number may have been 21684, but that might be another Rausch. I cannot trace him after the First World War. I am wondering if he stayed in Britain, returned to Hungary or went somewhere else. Perhaps he worked in the film industry again? I just don't know. Would anyone have any information on him?
(I have been in touch with the Manx Museum and will also contact sources in Austria and Germany.)

Hi Ambly, This is all great. John's family background in watchmaking would indeed help to explain his own involvement, and then I'd suggest that this kind of accurate work would be good preparation for his later career as optician, photographer and cameraman. Your other findings show that most of John's children, like him, were in the film business for a while at least: he may have been a little proud that he started them off that way. Then the naturalisation material adds further details, including confirmation of the change of name of John's son to Jack. And then your finding the A* trail is excellent icing on the cake! Thanks very much.

Thanks for your expertise on this. Again, that's more information I had, and I'm impressed that you can find this stuff when there are so many sites to choose from (I just looked at Cyndi's list fo California alone, and it goes on and on...) So we're now up to the 1980s.
