Are any of you of relation to Cherry from London, England? Here is a little something on Miss Gladys Cherry, since this is her name, and since no one else has posted something on her.
Miss Gladys Cherry was born on August 27, 1881. She was the daughter of Lady Emily Dyer-Edwards Cherry, who was just Emily Dyer-Edwards before. Lady Cherry was the sister of Mr. Thomas Dyer-Edwards, who was the owner of Prinknash Park in Gloucester, Gloucestershire.
Miss Cherry had a cousin, the Countess of Rothes (Noel Lucy Martha Dyer-Edwards), who was the only child of Mr. Dyer-Edwards, and was the wife to the nineteenth Earl of Rothes (Norman Evelyn Leslie). The two women boarded the Titanic at Southampton, England, due to Lady Rothes' going to America where her husband planned to become a permanent fruit-farmer. Miss Cherry wanted to go for the fun of the trip.
The two women occupied cabin B-77 with Lady Rothes' maid, Miss Roberta "Cissy" Maioni.
When the ship was sinking, the three women escaped into lifeboat number eight, where Lady Rothes took the tiller, and asked her cousin to help. Miss Cherry stayed at the tiller all night, whilst her cousin had gone to sit down next to a woman who was screaming for her husband, and tried to comfort this woman.
Miss Cherry wrote a letter of admiration to the man in charge of their lifeboat, and if anyone wants the letter, I can send it to you by request of e-mail, or information about the Countess of Rothes or anyone else of first-class on board the Royal Majesties Ship Titanic, then please, do not hesitate to contact me.
Miss Cherry married a man, whose last name is all I know, and then she had died in London, England, as Mrs. Gladys Pringle, on May 4, 1965.
Here is something of which I believe could and might be family, but then again, that is yet to be found out by the continuous genealogy being brought to and from here. Take care, and if you might be related to Miss Cherry, then I am sure you have found something to your liking!
Regards,
J. K.
