    Hey! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you’ve got right here on this post. I shall be coming back to your weblog for more soon.

    My paternal Grandmother ,Louisa Bonham was nanny/nurserymaid to Elba.I found the photographs lovely. The facts we have so far are really interesting,I think my Aunt is in touch with some people who are involved in the Titanic society.She has found out quiet a lot .I only wish ther ewas a photograph of my Grandmother with the family. Her son ,my father is still with us and he finds this very interesting, he is 94.years old. Many thanks.

    AS above I am sister to Irene and therefore another grand-daughter of Louisa Fox nee Bonham, My gr andmother had the wedding photograph of Thomas and Helen on her wall at home until her death in 1967 her daughter (our aunt )tells us of the tales and stories her mother told to her of her days as nanny/nursery nurse to Eliza Barbour’s children and how she would recall visits to the Barbours home in Belfast (Conway) of the Andrews family and would tend to Elba, She was very fond of the families and was sad to leave their employment. I am thrilled to think my grandmother had such close connections to such a wonderful family and famous too. I have seen a rehearsal copy of Denise ‘s DVD and loved it. Thank you very much for allowing us to share this amazing history. Wendy.

    Just ran across this web site and was wondering if I could get some information…

  5. CeeCee says:

    I love your site! Mostly I love the photos! Thank you for making this information available to Titanic (and Andrews) lovers everywhere. ;D

    Also quick note: On the Andrews/Barbour wedding photo there’s some writing. I’ve always wondered what it says. The photos are always to grainy or small to make it out. Not to mention the script used back then was way more fancy than I’m used too.

    Anyway thanks again for this wonderful blog.

    Hello,
    I am a very close friend of Denise. I have a question for Wendy!! I would love to hear the stories as you recall that your grandmother told of Eliza Barbour’s children!! Could you tell me some of them? Thank you so much!!

  7. Christina says:

    Hello
    I have a question, whose the owner of the picture with Thomas and his daughter (stating V.Morrison Collection), I’d like to find out where those pictures are from, because I have never seen them before. I have a few more pictures of Thomas Andrews, which you haven’t got here. And I’d like to share my information if you’d like.

    Topic: Thomas Andrews Jr.
    Kind regards.
    PS would really love to find out who V. Morrison is and contact the person.

  8. Mrs Andrews says:

    Hello Christina,

    Many thanks for your interest. I understand my historian is in contact with you. We truly appreciate your kindness.
