This photo had me confused as to which side of the family "Eliza" belonged to. I was misguided by a note someone scribbled, but now believe this to be Miss Eliza Nugent of Belfast, Ireland. She was first cousin to Eliza Buttery Scott, making her my 1st cousin, 3x removed. Her mother was Rosa Buttery, sister of Albert Edward. Eliza married Ernest McGibbon.
When this photos was taken, in a shipyard just 3 miles away, the TITANIC was being completed. I wish I knew if the family had watched it being built or had helped in some way to build it, and if they knew anyone on board the fateful cruise.
Notes:
-C.S. Lewis was also born in Belfast just 6 years after Eliza and lived just 4 miles from the Nugent family.
-C.S. Lewis was also born in Belfast just 6 years after Eliza and lived just 4 miles from the Nugent family.
-I have been in touch with Eliza's niece in Canada, Joan Higginson.
