Hello,
I am so excited to read this that you put. My children are the great grandchildren of Irene P. Williams. This is so awesome, all I ever had were the names of Irene's parents, and a couple of her siblings names. There was one more child that was born on the Empress of Ireland. Irene told me that this was a sister. Irene stated to me that her mother Annie had died from injuries she substained from a fire that she threw kerosene on thinking the kerosene was water. Soon after Annie died, Henry had put all the children up for adoption with the exception of Thomas the eldest boy. Irene was adopted by the Palmer family of Vaughan Washington. Thank you for this shed of light.
