Although apparently 2 years older than a 1903 birth this does seem too much of a coincidence:

good morning all,
helping a friend !
her grandfather was the son of the famous captain arthur henry rostron b1869 whose ship was the first to help in the titanic disaster.
i have him and his wife ethel millie with son harry maxwell b 1900 in the 1901 census. but cant trace after as i suspect they had left for america . so cannot trace births for their children.

thank you so much for your help so always
