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

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

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

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

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

Whi did he marry and do you have a birth year

So is your grandfather the Titus in the 1881 census posted by Gwyn?

(No relation of the John Sisson who travelled on the Queen Mary.)

No brother Titus or Thomas.

I think the name Amy on the travel record is just a mistake by the clerk - or maybe Fanny sometimes called herself Amy.
