Dear Board
I would be interested to hear from anyone with any further information on Mr and Mrs
Tyrell William Cavendish who were passengers on the Titanic.
Tyrell William Cavendish was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, UK on October 12, 1875, the
son of Charles Tyrell Cavendish and his wife. By the turn of the 1880s they were residents
of Crakemarsh Hall in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, UK which is where Tyrell would mainly be
based throughout his short life. He was married to Julia Florence Siegel sometime around
1908 who was born in Chicago on November 3, 1886. I believe that the couple did have at
least one child but Mr and Mrs Cavendish would not be accompanied by them on their voyage
on the Titanic. Mrs Cavendish's maid, Ellen Barber, did accompany them. Tyrell lost
his life in the sinking and Mrs Cavendish and her maid returned to the UK where the former
would spend the rest of her life. She never remarried and died on February 16, 1963.
Any further biographical insight much appreciated.
Best wishes
Cameron
