On 5 April 2012 the BBC South News had a report of a couple Angela & Keith Scarrott who have 3 great grandfathers and great grand uncle who were on the Titanic when it sank. The article mentioned that Frank and William Long, Trimmers, were brothers and that Willm. had a wife Eunice and two sons Thomas & George and that she struggled so after his death that they were sent to Barnardo's childrens home and George, certainly was sent to Canada. He died before the Prime Minister's apology to these children in 2010.
