Sarah McLellan, 36, a British national, lived in Lake Forest, Illinois, United States, near Chicago. She was on her way to Scotland. She was presumably traveling with Agnes Crosbie, Agnes Smith, and Nicholas Boyle, although she is listed on the second cabin passenger list and her traveling companions are in third class. Agnes Crosbie and Sarah McLellan survived the disaster. Agnes Smith and Nicholas Boyle did not.
Sarah married a man by the name of Duncan and passed away in Lake Forest, Illinois in the 1950s.

Sarah Mclellan was my great auntie I am looking for any family members that are alive today Sarah came from Scotland
By coincidence we are in Ireland today, and going to visit the memorial. My interest is one of her travelling companions by the name of Nicholas Boyle. I believe she was my mothers aunt, and I was named Nicholas after her. My mothers parents were David Rome and Sarah Mellon. If you have any information I would appreciate it.
Hi, Nicholas Boyle was a daughter of my grandfathers and his first wife. She was born near Lockerbie in Dumfrieshire and had 3 sisters.
Sarah was my grandfather’s step-mother. According to my grandmother, Sarah was on the Lusitania in order to retrieve some items from Scotland prior to her marriage to my great-grandfather, Henry Duncan. Sarah and Henry had two sons: Henry, who was killed in action in Germany while serving in the US army during WWII and Alexander. Alexander had two sons, True and Richard. Both have passed away, Richard just last year.
Sorry I don’t have any information to give you Sarah was my dads aunt and my grans sister I never met her when I was a child I remember them telling us about her she came from Kirkcudbrightshire (around that area) Scotland also she was born into a big family enjoy your stay in Ireland actually I live in Jersey Channel Islands left Scotland about 33 years ago I have still got my mother,sister and brother and their families in Scotland I try and get home as often as I can sorry I can’t give you anymore info
Hello, and thank you for that info. I have not yet traced the connection of Nicholas Boyle to my family tree. I visited the National Registry for Scotland in Edinburgh and obtained a lot of info to allow me to continue on with my searches from Canada. Have you been able to find out who employed these ladies in the U.S. I wonder if there was any records of domestic employees. I guess there may be a register of these ladies landing in the US for their work if they arrived from Scotland. Lets keep in touch. I will continue to research.

Hi, Nicholas Boyle was the daughter of my Grandfather and his first wife. She was born in Corrie, Dumfries and Galloway and had 3 sisters.
Thank you Winifred for that info. Can you provide me with your grandfather’s and grandmother’s name. I still do not know how they are related. My grandfather’s name was John Rome who married Sarah Mellon. I have not been too active on the registry as I too have been busy. I am hoping to spend more time on this during the summer. I sure hope we can keep in touch.
Thanks again.

Sorry I am unable to help you enjoy your time in Ireland seeing the memorial
Hi Nicki, my grandfathers name was John Boyle and his wife’s name was Mary Smith which was Nicholas’s parents. Mary Smith died in 1903 and my grandfather remarried Elizabeth Edgar in 1909. I know that Nicholas sister Maggie Jane Boyle immigrated to America. I do hope this is helpful in your search.
Kind regards
Winn
My Mother’s grandmother Mary Agnes Boyle (smith) was sister of Nicholas Boyle who died on the Lusitania.
