Wallace Hartley's Father, Albion Hartley

From Find-A-Grave.

Continued from last week's posts. This all started with the recreation of Wallace Hartley's funeral in Colne, England on the 100th anniversary of it. Wallace Hartley was the bandmaster on the R.M.S. Titanic, whose body was recovered after the sinking and buried a month later.

His father was Albion Henry Hartley who was born in 1851 in Colne and died Jan. 9, 1934. He married Elizabeth G. Foulds in September 1874 and was choirmaster of Bethel Chapel in Colne.

He held a succession of jobs and in 1881 was the manager of Cotton Mill and in 1901, an insurance agent.

The couple had two sons, Conrad Robert Hartley and Ughred Harold Hartley who died in early childhood. Albion and his wife are both buried at Colne Cemetery, as if Wallace Hartley.
