Maria Robinson-- Part 2: Fiancee of Titanic's Bandleader

From the April 13, 2012, Lancashire (UK) Telegraph "Titanic Centenary: Colne's heroic bandmaster and the fiancee he left behind" by Peter Magill.

Maria Robinson lived in relative obscurity after that fateful night.  She died from stomach cancer in Bridlington in June 1929.  She was the daughter of a prominent Yorkshire industrialist and remained heartbroken for the rest of her days over the death of her beloved Wallace Hartley.

She never married and lived with her mother and sister until 1930.  He brother took over her father's firm.

Maria Robinson-- Part 1: Fiancee of Wallace Hartley, the Titanic's Bandleader

Back in 2014, I wrote about Wallace Hartley, bandleader on the Titanic.  He left a fiancee named Maria Robinson.  They became engaged in 1910 and had plans for marriage in the summer of 1912.

In February 2012, researcher Jill Pengelly found a photograph of Maria Robinson at Wallace Hartley's funeral.

She died in 1939 and is buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery near Leeds.

The Titanic organization is raising funds to mark her grave.
