Half way down the page it gives a list of the lost men

I don't know about 'missing' but I have so far found that the following died:
Firemen William Perrins (43 year old father of 6) and Albert Trussit (42) both died in the stokehold.

Arnold McFarlane (cook) also died.

Does this help at all?

Who is it you are hoping to find?

No problem Sue - I like to have something to search for.

I did wonder about his being referred to as William on my info but apparently he was named 'Norbert William' so that solves that one too ! :-)
