Mike the info you have posted for 1871, the birth and marriage to clara ryder is what i have.

Glitterbaby, i did see that marriage (it came up as a hint but i wasnt sure) on the marriage of him to clara he is listed as batchelor and i cant find a death for maria wonfor?
Im still not 100% on the marriage to Clara, they appear to have married in Yorkshire? He was born London and at a young age was taken to Dublin but then came back but Yorkshire just seemed to far out?

Hi
I believe some of my relations were killed in the above disaster, i only have UK and Irish sub to ancestry and wonder if someone with worldwide might be able to help.
The relation in question is
George Henry Wonfor born 1844 UK, son of Joseph Wonfor and Caroline Hornblower.
I believe George married Clara Ryder in 1870, i believe they had 5 children, Clara then died in 1881.
Someone else has on ancestry that George then married Selena (however i cant find a marriage) They may have had more children together...and they are who i believe drowned in the above incident.
Any information, either census, birth, death or passenger list would be most appreciated.
Thanks
