RE: Titanic update
Home
There's some interesting speculation here on Encyclopedia Titanica suggesting that Ada Maria Winfield had a sister who was also aboard the Titanic... read more here...
Also there's an excerpt about Charles Valentine Clarke from the Emergency and Relief booklet by the American Red Cross, published 1913:
No. 76. (English). A dairy man, 29 years old, was drowned. He was accompanied by his wife, who was saved, and intended to settle in California. There are no children. The widow estimated the property loss at $1,200; from other relief funds in this country she received $250. She returned to England in April, and from the English funds was granted a pension of 20 shillings a week.
Died in 1959 and in interred in the churchyard of the Church of Holy Trinity, Weston Lane, Weston, Southampton.

The sister they refer to is Ada Mary West but, her maiden name was WORTH, so as Ada Maria Clarke's maiden was WINFIELD this cannot be correct.
