Obituary

The family boarded Titanic as 3rd class to emigrate to the US. On April 14, 1912 at 11:40 PM the ship struck an iceberg. During the time when passengers were boarding a lifeboat and because crewmen wouldn't allow husbands and older sons to board with the women and children- the family managed to stay behind together. It is unknown where the family remained during the final moments. Some claimed the family remained in their cabin during the sinking. Obituary from Find A Grave added by Plantagenet Princess Harold Victor Goodwin BIRTH 29 Jul 1901 Edmonton, London Borough of Enfield, Greater London, England DEATH 15 Apr 1912 (aged 10) At Sea CENOTAPH St Michael and All Angels Churchyard Melksham, Wiltshire Unitary Authority, Wiltshire, England PLOT Specifically: Body never found Master Harold Victor Goodwin was born in Edmonton, Middlesex, England on 29 July 1901. He was the son of Frederick Joseph Goodwin (b. 1870), a printer and compositor, and Augusta Tyler (b. 1868), natives of Surrey and Middlesex respectively who had married on 25 December 1894. In the few months prior to Harold's birth his family had been shown on the 1901 census living at 4 Exeter Road, Edmonton, Middlesex. Harold first appears on the 1911 census living at Watson Court, Watson's Yard, High Street in Melksham, Wiltshire. By 1912 it seems the family were back living, at least temporarily in London at 10 Vernon Street, Fulham. Several of his father's siblings had emigrated to the USA and settled in Niagra, New York. His uncle Thomas Goodwin notified the family of a position for his father at the big power station at Niagra and plans were made for the family to settle there. Funds for travel were borrowed from several of his uncles and aunts. The family had originally planned to cross on another steamer but the coal strike changed their plans and they were transferred to the Titanic. They boarded Titanic in Southampton on 10 April 1912 as third class passengers (ticket number 2144 which cost £46, 18s). Like most large families travelling in third class, especially those with teenage boys, the entire family was lost in the sinking. Inscription On Sunday 14th April 1912 the S.S. Titanic on her first voyage to America with 2,207 souls on board struck an iceberg, and sank in less than 3 hours. Only 705 being saved. Among those who were drowned was a whole family from this parish, Frederick and Augusta Goodwin, with their six children, Lilian, Charles, William, Jessie, Harold, Sidney. The children were all in the Sunday School and the three elder boys in the choir of this church. “When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee”
