Reading the article about Arthur Peuchen, it states that his grandfather managed the London, Brighton & Midland Railway. I lived in England back in the 30s, and there was no such railway. There were London Midland & Scottish,and London Brighton (later changed to Southern Railwaay)

Checking history a bit further, I believe that in 1912, the London Midland hadn't added the "Scotland" to its name, while the London Brighton was London Brighton and Southcoast. According to the "Dictionary of Canadian Biography" it was the latter which the grandfather managed. Incidentally, it was his maternal graandfather, not paternal.

Incidentally, reading the Wikipedia article again, it doesn't give the date - not even the year - of the sinking! Charles Davies (talk) 21:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
