Find Ancestors

The CS Mackay Bennett was the first of four ships chartered by the White Star Line to search for bodies in the aftermath of the sinking.

http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/virtual/titanic/ships.asp?Ship=Mackay-Bennett has a list of all bodies found and possibly further information.

Best bet is to google as Flick has said

Have you tried googling?

There must be acres of info relating to the Titanic on the internet

My great, great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Boyd born 1861 who married my great, great grandfather Alfred Emile Noel. One of Mary's siblings was Reginald Boyd born in 1875 in England and therefore I believe a great, great Uncle, please correct me if I'm wrong. I've been informed that at some point in his life he went to Halifax, Canada. Later he was a crew member/officer on the C.S. Mackay Bennett which helped save surviviors of the Titanic. Reg then sadly died as a result of the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Am wondering if there is anyone out there who has any information about Reg or the C.S. Mackay Bennett and the Halifax Explosion. I work during the week so am not at my computer until the evening time.

Kind regards
