Edmond was two years old on board the Titanic when it sunk. He and his brother survived. Their father, who had taken them away from their mother upon the parents' separation, died. The children were eventually reunited with their mother when she recognized their faces on a notice about the identity of the surviving Titanic children. The father had bought tickets with false names so it was not with ease that the mother could prove they were her children.
