Two young friends from Wollaston near Wellingborough died in a disaster.
George Patchett, born in 1892, took a job in Ontario for his brother William, who lives in Canada, and his friend John Garfirth.
Garfirth, born in 1888, was a member of the Wollaston Choir Choir and helped to manage the scout group.
Together, they boarded Titanic for a new life, and Patchtt sent a card to his worried mother, “He’s too busy to write …”.
His mother had seen a photo of the ship and begged not to sail to Patchett because he was “too big”.

In addition to the names of Patchett and Garfirth on the third -class passengers list, Charles Franklin.
However, no one named Charles Franklin is in Southampton’s boarding on the ship.
The man who paid 7 £ 5D for his ticket was Charles Fardon, who was actually born in Daventry in 1866.
Although his family lived in Wellingborough during the 1871 census, Fardon spent some time to stay in Daventry with his grandmother and grandfather.
In 1896, he married Sophia Turnell in Daventry and settled in his children’s Wellingborough.
It is not clear why Fardon uses a fake name when he reserves his passage, but his wife is known to have lost his opinion until 1911.
It was suggested that his wife could not cope with the blindness and that his only option was to escape, but the truth is unlikely to know.
Despite the discovery of the debris 40 years ago, there are many questions about the Titanic and those who sail it.
