Thanks for the welcome.

Just a clarification to something Kittyb216 wrote, all of the documentation that I have on the Lusitania states that none of the Bartleys' bodies were ever found. In fact, few were. There were 50 bodies recovered of the 404 missing crew, 68 bodies recovered of the 178 missing Saloon passengers, 82 bodies recovered of the 374 missing Second Cabin passengers, and only 23 bodies recovered of the 239 missing Third Class passengers (including the Bartleys). There were also 65 bodies that remained unidentified.

Thanks to carolbaguley for posting the photograph of the Bartley family. I was extremely surprised and pleased to discover it!

Like Kittyb216, they are also my family. My grandmother, Harriet Brannen (nee Bartley), was the sister of George Noble Bartley. My branch of the family, as well as two sisters and their families, and the mother, came to Canada in the 1910's and 1920's. 

Over the years we lost touch with the Bartleys that remained in England, so if Kittyb216 ever sees this, I would welcome the opportunity to re-connect!
