Caroline Milne, 35, was a British national living in Montréal, Québec, Canada as nurse (nanny) to infant John Harrison Chattan Stephens. She was originally from Liscard, Cheshire, England. She was traveling aboard Lusitania with Master Stephens and the infant’s grandmother, Frances Stephens, and the grandmother’s maid, Elise Oberlin. Caroline stayed in room D-9 with John Stephens, their ticket number 13170.
All four were lost in the Lusitania disaster when the ship sank after being torpedoed.

Caroline Milne was my great aunt. She was from Birkenhead rather than Liscard, and no stranger to the sea as her father and brothers were fishermen, based at Rock Ferry. She did not marry and worked as a servant, and eventually as a children’s nanny.
My wife is working through her ancestry and it seems possible Caroline Milne was related.
Was D-9 In The Bow, Stern, or Amidships?
