During the time of the Lusitania, Cunard termed first class “saloon” and termed second class “second cabin” on their ships. This site follows the nomenclature of the times for the passenger manifests or passenger lists.
The list contains the names of four people who died soon after the disaster, one came on the official list of dead, but died later than the other three, so all four on the lists are saved.
- Clarke, Mr. Alfred Russell.
- McKetchan, Master Campbell, died on 15 September 1915 (He was on the official list among the victims).
- Plank, Mrs. Harriet, died on 31 July 1915.
- Knight, Mr. Charles, died of blood poisoning ten days after the disaster.
This site also assigns passenger citizenship by the national borders of 1915, so many Poles and Finns will be listed as “Russian” and Irish, Canadians, and Australians listed as “British.” Most of those listed as Russian would have been either Polish or Jewish. Very few Russians traveled to the United States during this time period.
Pertaining to couples and families:
- Newlywed nationalities are listed as to where man and wife were from before their marriage. Therefore, Leslie Mason would be listed as American even though her husband Stewart was English.
- If there is insufficient information for all members of a family, that information will usually fall under the biographical entry for the patriarch.
Both are, admittedly, imperfect systems.

Does anybody know when Michael G. Byrne and Daniel Virgil Moore died?
Does anyone know where Isaac Edwards died.He was returning to Wales I think possibly 3rd Class Many thanks
Dear Ms.Spearing,
If the Isaac Edwards you enquire after came originally from the S.Wales mining village of Gilfach Goch, then it is possible that my late mother was his half sister.
If this is the person you enquire about please contact me.
Hello Ms Spearing,
I am sending this reply on behalf of my Uncle. Was the Isaac Edwards you are asking about originally from Gilfach Goch? If yes, then he was my paternal Grandmothers half brother.If this is the case, would it be possible to contact you direct by email? My Uncle, Romeo Tambini, is keen to learn about Isaac.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best Wishes,
Andrew Tambini

My Granmothers’ Mother Annie Burke had a brother Ernest James Burke (my Great Uncle) who boarded the Lusitania at Rhode Island. He travelled third class and went down on that fateful day. I have a family photo with him on. I travelled to the Liverpool Maritime museum and have seen his name on the ships’ records.
My Name is Veronica Bagnall , My Grandfather Tom McCormack was a suvivor of the Lusitania.
He never talked about it very much during his early years, Then just after his 70th Birthday there was an interview arranged with a Local Kiladre newspaper, he was 30 years old on that fateful day in 1915.
I hold the story of the Lusitiania very deep within me, my story indeed had a happy ending. But I can say with hand in heart, I think of this tragic day in history and the Muder of all these innocent people regularly.
May they all rest peacefully.
See Kildare.ie Tom McCormack Lusitiania.
My Great Grandfather did not survive. His name was Ernest James Burke. I would love to hear more.
Ah yes, Burke lived in RI. His picture was in the local papers
Really I would love to see that.
I am trying to locate anyone who may have information of a mr john foster 1st class waiter who was lost on the sinking of the lucitania, I think he may be my grandfather, he may have lived in watmaugh st everton Liverpool, I would be ever great full for any information.
My grandads brother Henry Bowen was on the Lusitania a crew member a fireman.He was never found.Presume he got blown to pieces if he was in the boiler room.His wife only received 2 days pay that was owed to him.Why were they not compensated does anybody know. I still upsets me the sheer horror of if.
