Definitely two diff families

So re reading your enquiry was it Thomas sisson who was your grandfather?

Whi did he marry and do you have a birth year

The poster has Titus listed in her tree, when I searched.

Whether or not he was her grandfather ..we need further information.

Purely for info, that was the maiden voyage of RMS Queen Mary

And 'Amy's' age has been mistranscribed by Ancestry. She was 51.

An earlier sailing for John
