As asked for by Susan my cousin from North Carolina I have spoken to Dad about the ship information. Edward Johnson sailed on R.M.S Olympic which sailed from Southampton a journey made many times by Martha so as she could see her husband. For more info about the ship see wikipedia.
Uncle Billy was a waiter on the Reina del mar. info on wikipedia about ship.
My dad Ted Johnson Sailed on a number of ships including, The Laconia, Franconia, Alcantara, Georgic and the Athalone castle.
To see Martha's husbands butchers shop which was bombed in1939 see my post dated 20/11/10 and you will see dad walking across the road the bombed out shop behind him. Regards to all of Martha's family all over the world.  Ray
