Thank you both for your updates. William Ernest INGS was born in South Stoneham 17 Mar 1892, so the 1881 census INGS is someone different and no I haven't seen that entry before in the 1881. Never bother looking for a William INGS because I new he was born after the census. But I shall look into it now! I have all what's at the pro on W E INGS. I think! Public Record Office, Kew Board of Trade papers on S.S. Titanic Ref: ST 100 259 Signing Agreement No.170 William Ings Aged 20, born Hants. Home address: 43 Stratton Road (Southampton) First ship Engaged as Scullion £3. lOs. Od. per month Signed agreement: 4 Apr 1912 To board: 6.OOam 10 Apr 1912 I bet William was excited at the prospects of being employed on the S.S. Titanic, goes to show you never know what's around the corner. What I am looking for is something on his brother Harold Richard INGS , I just found this yesterday another marriage for him now, Harold Richard INGS married in 1922 to a Louisa N DENNETT she died Apr 1929 then it looks like he married again to Louise HUNTER in 1935. First Marriage produce Warner Richard Ernest INGS 1923 so the INGS name on this family has not died out. The trucking company in Sandleheath, I shall write to the INGS trucking company Chris. I wonder if Warner was in the armed forces during the Wars??

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.
