It is believed that Daniel Coxon had returned to England one time earlier, but he returned to his home land aboard the SS New York on 22 December 1911, traveling in third class aboard the same steamer that almost collided with the Titanic in Southampton docks four months later.
Whilst in England, he lived at 38 Rockford, Kentish Town, London, presumably the address of one of his siblings. Reportedly delaying his return to the U.S. so he could board the new steamer Titanic, he boarded the vessel at Southampton as a third class passenger (ticker number 364500 which cost 7 pounds, 5 shillings).
Mr. Coxon lost his life in the disaster and his body, if recovered, was never identified.
