  1. It was so good to finally see the grave that remembers my G.G Uncle George Henry Chitty & my distant cousin Archibald... and to my surprise I was able to see another name of the gravestone ~ that of Harold who died aged 22 months.
    Do you have any information on the other names, not mentioned on your blog, that are on the grave ?
    I've been looking for my G.G Aunt Juliette who died in 1909, long before her husband & son joined the Titanic crew ~ also their other child who died Eliza May, who died in 1899 I think, aged about 9 ?
    Thanks so much for making this photo & the information available.
