Hello there

I was just perusing the net and lo and behold all this info on Rootschat re my family

I can give more info on the Bartley familty.

I have the grave papers and my great grandparents mariage certificate. My great grandfather was John Dixon Bartley and his wife mary Ann Bartley nee Heron. George Noble Bartley was his brother. Family history states George, Ellen and both their sons where interred in ireland after the sinking but were included on the family memorial later.  They where travelling back form canada I think the St Catherines area of Ontario where they had previously settled.

Hi Kittyb.  Welcome to Rootachat! 

Fancy after all this time, you joining from the real family!

I'm sore that any one involved would be really interested in anything you can tell us about your family and their experiences of the disaster or across the Atlantic or anything else!

Thank you very much for getting in touch and do let us know some more about them if you can!

Welcome againn to Rootschat.  Do let us know also, if there's anything else on your family any of us can help with.

Best wshes!

Further to posts #66 and #68 from Emms and Ken respectively:

I have obtained a copy of George Arthur GILPIN's will from the York Record Office. He left everything to his mother, Elaza Mary Cawthorne GILPIN amounting to Pds.8953. His will was drawn up in San Salvador in 1909. His mother died in 1924 and left Pds. 13841, to be shared between her three remaining children, Walter, Lily (my grandma) and Rose. I have also learnt that Walter travelled to Ireland to identify George Arthur's body, after the sinking of the Lusitania. GA was almost certainly buried in Ireland although where I am not sure, but suspect it was in one of the communal graves.

Thanks to both of you for your interest, and for the summary of Gilpin information that you posted on 14 May, Ken.

Just been palying about converting the money left in those wills into totdays money.
Wow! boy they left a bob or two  :o

Migky  ;)

Best match i could get on the year.

In 1910 £8953 would be worth today £ 510,858

In 1925 £13841 would be worth £ 414,814

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!

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.
