Branscombe Diaspora
BRANSCOMBE DIASPORA If you look through the old parish registers or census returns, or wander round the graveyard, you’ll find family names that lasted for over a century – Bartletts, Perrys, Dowells, Deans, Frenchs, Gushs, Northcotts, Piles, Pikes, Wards, to name just a few. Nowadays these families have all gone. There are a few exceptions – a couple of Dowells, a Cox, a few hidden below a different surname (Betty Rowson was a Somers; Eileen Carpenter a Northcott; Jean Brimson a Perryman; Ivor Dowell’s mother was a Dean; John Bass’s a French; Sid Sweetland’s wife a Gosling; and Bill Carpenter & Frank Adlam are both members of the Ward clan) - but that’s all. People left the parish for many reasons. Branscombe was never a rich village and opportunities to get on’ were few and far between. By the nineteenth century – and earlier as well – people left to seek work, or maybe they’d got a girl in trouble, run up debts, or run foul of ‘important’ people within the community. Some, no doubt, went out of a spirit of adventure. By the mid nineteenth century, with the railways opening up, and mines and factories, London, Manchester, and South Wales were favoured locations. But some went much further afield, to the States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. And it is these people that we would like to track. We’ve combed through our oral history transcripts, added details from the Parish Registers and Census Returns, as well as other stray references. We intend to trace the names of some of the ships on which the emigrants sailed.

“R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W
“R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W. Baldwin I The White Star liner Titanic, largest ship the world had ever known, sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912. The paint on her strakes was fair and bright; she was fresh from Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yards, strong in the strength of her forty-six thousand tons of steel, bent, hammered, shaped, and riveted through the three years of her slow birth. There was little fuss and fanfare at her sailing; her sister ship, the Olympic—slightly smaller than the Titanic— had been in service for some months and to her had gone the thunder of the cheers. But the Titanic needed no whistling steamers or shouting crowds to call attention to her superlative qualities. Her bulk dwarfed the ships near her as longshoremen singled up her mooring lines and cast off the turns of heavy rope from the dock bollards. She was not only the largest ship afloat, but was believed to be the safest. Carlisle, her builder, had given her double bottoms and had divided her hull into sixteen watertight compartments, which made her, men thought, unsinkable. She had been built to be and had been described as a gigantic lifeboat. Her designers’ dreams of a triple-screw giant, a luxurious, floating hotel, which could speed to New York at twenty-three knots, had been carefully translated from blueprints and mold loft lines at the Belfast yards into a living reality. The Titanic’s sailing from Southampton, though quiet, was not wholly uneventful.

Behavior Under Extreme Conditions: the Titanic Disaster
Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 24, Number 4—Fall 2010—Pages 1–14 Behavior under Extreme Conditions: The Titanic Disaster Bruno S. Frey, David A. Savage, and Benno Torgler uring the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg on her maiden voyage. Two hours and 40 minutes later she sank, resulting D in the loss of 1,501 lives—more than two-thirds of her 2,207 passengers and crew. This remains one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most famous. The disaster came as a great shock because the vessel was equipped with the most advanced technology at that time, had an experienced crew, and was thought to be practically “unsinkable” (although the belief that the ship had been widely believed to be truly unsinkable actually arose after the sinking, as explained in Howell, 1999). The Titanic’s fame was enhanced by the considerable number of films made about it: not including various made-for-television movies and series, the list would include Saved from the Titanic (1912), In Nacht und Eis (1912), Atlantic (1929), Titanic (1943 and 1953), A Night to Remember (1958), Raise the Titanic! (1980), and of course the 1997 Titanic, directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. In 1985, a joint American–French expedition, led by Jean-Louis Michel and Dr. Robert Ballard, located the wreckage and collected approximately 6,000 artifacts, which were later shown in an exhibition that toured the world. ■ Bruno S.

The Titanic & the Bateman Bible
BIBLE WHICH BELONGED TO MAN WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE HIS SISTER WHEN THE TITANIC SANK, NOW IS IN BAXTER SEMINARY LIBRARY By Albert W. Brogdon Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN Thursday, April 11, 1940 (Photo: Encyclopedia Titanica courtesy of Harvey Myers) http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org Rev. Robert James Bateman (1860-1912) A Family Photo (origin unknown) copied from a copy hanging in my mothers dining room. She, born Betty Jane Bateman was his granddaughter. As far as is known, the only Bible saved from the Titanic when the great liner sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean 28 years ago Sunday, on Sunday night, April 14, 1912, which was owned by a man who gave his life that his sister might be saved, is now in the library of Baxter Seminary. The Bible was owned by the Rev. R. J. Bateman, a Wesleyan minister of near Birmingham, England, who was on his way to this country to live. Mr. Bateman carried his Bible, which was an unusual book, when he took passage on the ill-fated Titanic. The book is “The Emphatic Diaglott, containing the original Greek text of the New Testament with an interlinary word for word English translation based on the interlinary translation, on the rendering of eminent critics, and on the various readings of the Vatican manuscript in the Vatican library.” The minister may have been reading from his Testament at 11:40 p.m. on that fateful Sunday night or may have already read a few passages of Scripture and retired. It is not known what may have transpired in his cabin before the giant ship struck an iceberg, but his Bible was not far from his hand, for when the passengers were summoned on deck after the collision, he carried the book with him.

The Saga of the Gibson Women
www.encyclopedia-titanica.org This article is copyright Encyclopedia Titanica and its licensors © 2002 It may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form without permission. The Saga of the Gibson Women By Phillip Gowan and Brian Meister During the boyhood years of James Peter Boesen in Copenhagen, Denmark, a dazed, plain Hausfrau in a remote area of Austria gave birth to an illegitimate son, Alois. Maria Schicklgruber was an ungainly creature of 42 when her only child arrived in the summer of 1837, and those that knew her were incredulous that she had found anyone willing to impregnate her. Only half- jokingly, some suggested that her liaison might have been with the devil. There was never to be any conclusive evidence as to the parentage of the baby. Peter Boesen left Denmark and arrived at the port of New York City sometime in the 1850’s and there met and married a German woman, Pauline L. Hynsel. The couple lived most of their married life in Hoboken, New Jersey and raised two daughters. Blonde, blue-eyed Pauline Caroline Boesen arrived on June 30, 1866. That same year, a German woman was carrying the child that would later become the wife of Maria Schicklgruber’s illegitimate son. The Boesen girls were well educated and the family, though not wealthy, had prospered and lived in a comfortable home at 198 Bloomfield Street in Hoboken. In 1887 Pauline fell in love with a young Scotsman named John A. Brown and the two were married at the First Baptist Church of Hoboken on November 22nd.
