The interesting story of a young Scottish violinist in the band of Titanic.
He kept a little secret in the Caribbean, however!
This story is the result of a genealogist in Jamaica searching local records.
I hope you enjoy reading it, too.

Very heartwarming - as the Authur states, thank goodness his mother didn't know. Different times.

Yes, I read that yesterday, wouldn't it have made a good story for WDYTYA. As has been said, good job his mother didn't know. But what a lovely family to find.
