People: First Class: Trevor Allison


Born
May 7, 1911
Westmount, Quebec

Died
August 7, 1929

Trevor Allison, son of Hudson Joshua Allison and Bess Allison, was born on May 7, 1911. He had one sister, Helen Loraine, whom was two years older than he.

The entire Allison family went to England during 1912. While in England they had Trevor baptized in London and bought two dozen horses in Scotland. They also picked up some furniture and hired some household staff members. The Allison's changed their travel arrangements at the last minute to travel on the Titanic with some friends.

The Allison's boarded the Titanic in Southampton with ticket number 113781. They occupied cabins C-22,24 and 26. Hudson and Bess in one cabin, Helen Loraine and her maid in the second and Trevor and his maid in the third.

When the Titanic struck the iceberg, Alice Cleaver immediately took Trevor Allison up to the boat deck and left with him on Lifeboat 11. The Allison's were not aware that Alice had taken baby Trevor off of the ailing ship and they refused to leave until they knew he was safe. All of the remaining Allison's died on the Titanic.

After he arrived in New York he was taken to Canada and raised by his aunt and uncle, George and Lillian Allison. He died at the age of 18 of ptomaine poisoning and was buried beside his father.
