This is Harold Robert Ranger from Toronto Ontario Canada, originally from Dundas Ontario, I found out late in life from my grandma who was from Black Pool England that there was a Ranger on board and afterreading a number of books found that it was Greaser..Thomas Ranger. I would like to know if there is a way to find if he was related to me in any way. All my family have passed on and I am alone on this adventure.
About This Site
This website relates to the story of the Titanic. The Grand Ocean liner sank during its maiden journey on April 15, 1912. The death toll was 1523 of the 2228 passengers and crew members aboard. There were only 705 that survived. But there is more to the story of the Titanic than just the sinking. There is the connection people feel when they open their hearts to the event. Then there is also the Children of the Titanic, the people that are related to a person aboard the ship. In all reality anyone that feels connected in there heart to the Titanic somehow can be called a “Child of the Titanic”. So on that note! Welcome Aboard the Enchanted Titanic!

Harold although I am only very distantly related to Thomas G Ranger -born 10 Dec 1882 in Southampton – I can send you some photocopies of info on him (or go to http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-survivor/thomas-ranger) – I have a distant relative Mary Ranger in Southampton who is also an active family history researcher and she is nearer to him than I am and if you still need help I can put you in touch Incidentally there is a memorial in Southampton England for the crew who lost lives and my mother’s father was the model for the statue regards Wayne Ranger (England)
Mr. Ranger: I am trying to find if there is any family connection to Thomas G. Ranger.
I have found he was born in Southampton 12/10/1882. It seems his grave (date of death ?) is in Soton or Sotton. I suspect this in the area of Southampton, but do not know.
I would appreciate any data you or Mary Ranger may have.
I live in Chama, NM. Retired.
Many thanks. Dan Ranger
Good to know there is another Dan Ranger in the world 🙂
he is related to my nan (im 11) its her 2nd cousin
I live in Southampton, and as far as i can tell my family have been in the area for well over a century. My grandfather told us that we had a great great uncle as an Engine Greaser on the Titanic. I have always been told he was born in Southampton and was buried in Southampton but never told a specific place.
Hello,
He is the second husband of Emma Elizabeth ( was prince when she married him). She was my nan’s nan. He married Isabelle ( his wife before Emma) during / around the time of the titanic. He was in the royal navy before the merchant navy
Thanks
Thomas Ranger was born in Southampton 12.10.1882. He died in Southampton in July 1964. He was the 6th child, (of 8), born to George Ranger of Salisbury, Wiltshire, and Ann (Ashbolt).
