Empress of Ireland
1906 - 1914
Final Voyage - Passenger & Crew Tribute

Mrs. J. Peryer
[submitted by Sharon Gilliam]

My family lost our great-grandmother, Mrs. Peryer, on either the Empress or the Titanic. (no one seems to know for sure) She was traveling from England to visit my grandmother in Canada.

Reply from SeaView:   At first I thought I would not find the name on the passenger list since you said Mrs. Peryer was travelling England to Canada. The Empress sank going Canada to England. But I did find that name. It reads:

Could this be your great-grandmother?

Sharon:      Thank you so much for the info—I think that’s probably what I was looking for. Great grandma was on her way back to England after visiting my Grandmother. The family story goes that after my Great-Grandfather found out that his wife had lost her life, he tried to commit suicide by throwing himself under a Trolley/Buggy, but lived to see another day.    I would be interested in any other info regarding this subject..
