Lillian Maud Bolton, nee Smith. She was born in September 1882 at Wolverhampton in Staffordshire, England, to Benjamin Thomas, a plumber (who also had been a gas engineer and a smith), born about 1860 at Lambeth, Surrey, and Sarah Ann (nee O’Connell; she seems to have been born 1859 in the St. George Hanover Square district of London) Smith. Her parents had married 25 September 1881 in Bromley, Kent. It seems she was the Lillian Smith who was christened 3 July 1883 at Wednesbury, Staffordshire, England. She came to Canada in 1909. Lillian Maud Smith married George Henry Bolton on 29 January 1910 in Toronto. They both belonged to the Church of England, but were later described as Methodists. She was the mother of George Henry, Jr., and Sadie, who travelled with them on the Empress of Ireland. Sadly, all four would be lost in the sinking. According to press in 1914, her remains were identified 6 June by her sister-in-law.
