From Quiz Titanic's Children, Part Two

Answer: None

In the days following the sinking, several cable ships were sent out to begin the sad task of recovering the victims' bodies. Among the first to be found was a small fair-haired boy. When no relatives came forward to claim the child, he was buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery and became known as "Titanic's Unknown Child". Ninety-five years later, with the help of DNA testing (which, of course, was unavailable in 1912), he was finally identified as one-year-old Sidney Leslie Goodwin. The Goodwin Family: Frederick (42), his wife, Augusta (43) and their six children, Lillian (16), Charles (14), William (11), Jessie (10), Harold (9) and baby Sidney had boarded Titanic as Third Class passengers in Southampton, England. Their destination: Niagara Falls, New York, USA. The entire family perished. Only Sidney's body was recovered. The bodied of his parents and siblings, if recovered, were never identified.
