This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

The Titanic's Bandmaster's Fiancee, Maria Robinson
The Titanic's bandmaster Wallace Hartley and Maria Robinson were engaged in 1910 and had a 1912 date set for their wedding. In February 2012, researcher Jill Pengelly found a photo of her in the huge crowd gathered for her fiancee's funeral in Colne, England. //// She died in 1939 and is buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery near Leeds. There is currently an effort being made to raise funds to mark her grave. (Perhaps even a monument?). She also had a lot to do with the authentication of the violin Hartley was playing as the Titanic sank. ////
