seaJane	Lyr Req: Down in the Engine Room (Edmund Hill) (32)	RE: Lyr Req: Down in the Engine Room (Edmund Hill)	01 Dec 09
Something about the writer? I suddenly thought to check the 1901 Census records and they show an Edmund Rouleg Hill, aged 28, electrical engineer. I suspect he is our poet: if so, he would have been born about 1873, and aged 39 or so when the Titanic went down. Unfortunately I can't download the record and have a closer look at it. The 1901 census middle name is a mis-transcription: a further check via FamilySearch.org gives Edmund Rowley Hill, son of Rowley Hill (1836-1887), born on the Isle of Man 19 Feb 1873, died 1 Oct 1947. The 1881 census has the correct middle name and shows the family in London.
