Further to Vickis reply Stephen We found this on http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/bio/c/v/ings_w.shtml "SCULLION W,INGS Mr W. Ings, 20, was born in Hampshire. When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 9 April 1912, he gave his address as 45 Stratton Road, (Southampton). The Titanic was his first ship. As a scullion he received monthly wages of £3 10s. Ings died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified. " Don't know if this is any good in your research though, another W Ings!! In May 1878 English-born William Ings, who had emigrated to America, arrived in Southampton for a two-week stay to visit relations and evangelise. He gave out Adventist literature and influenced two people to keep the Sabbath. His next visit, beginning in December 1878, had greater success. Ings was to develop into an effective preacher, and both he and his wife Jenny were personal friends of Ellen White. In May 1878 he had asked Battle Creek to send over a minister and, in June, the General Conference voted to send the experienced pioneer and administrator, J N Loughborough. http://217.207.43.10/countries/uk_sda.htm Also found these on HAMPSHIRE SURNAMES http://www.np03.dial.pipex.com/surnames/ham/ham_i.htm There are three or four there and a INGSS This might be worth contacting to see if its the same family Ings Transport Ltd Courtwood Farm Sandleheath Fordingbridge Hampshire SP6 1QD Tel: 01425 653314 Chris and Caroline SOUTHERN LIFE(UK) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villages ----- Original Message ----- From: "historyresearch" <historyresearch@supanet.com> To: <HAMPSHIRE-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 6:10 PM Subject: Re: [HantsLife] On this day 10th April 1912 Hello Stephen, In case you haven't got it, Mr W INGS was a scullion on board Titanic, and his home address was 45 Stratton Road, Southampton.
