I can't see a Morait on the Titanic passenger lists, but you can check here in case I've missed it:
http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic_passenger_list/

(Of course, she may have had a married name)

P.S.

We all went through our lives having Morait misspelt, and mispronounced, it ranged from Morit to Moriarty, the Daughters were so relieved to marry!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so, so much, My grandfather Nicholas Morait was Greek Born in Pireaus and my Grandmothers name was Catherine Sephton, and it looks a though she was pregnant with my dad Peter John Morait when they married!!!!!! his birthday was 19th August 1919. There are loads of Lesleys on here. What generation am I ? I wonder.
I even found a Michael Morait in a Census, he was born in the 1700s. And a Mary-Ann Morait, Granddad said she was lost on the Titanic, but don't know if that's true, I was only 8 when he used to tell me and my sisters that story in his broad Greek accent !!!!!!!!!

Again thank you all Lesley Morait

isnt there another thread re the name Morait?

Peter John Morait, 1919?

We cant help unless you give us some info . What is his name. Do you know his parents names? which records have you found for his siblings.

When did he marry . have you got the marriage cert which will should name his dad

Could he have been born before his parents married?

Welcome to the boards, Lesley.

Could you tell us his name, date and place of birth, and parents names, so we can have a look for you?

Thanks
