Ken,You are lucky to live near where the Titanic sailed from Southampton,I was born just 30 miles away in Poole Dorset,and my stepsister lives in Hythe just across from Southampton,I now live 15 miles from where the ship was built,just down the road is where my Grandfather sailed from and where he was born in Cobh,only it is a long way from Bangor at the other end of Ireland,I do not have any connections though with France where the Titanic also left from,or not any connections that I know of.The hundred years anniversary of the Titanic I will Commemorate .
,(not celebrate as someone in Belfast remarked only we can Celebrate the Titanic)This remark was only as I know from one person and did not represent the people of Belfast,where my wife was born.Pat
