  		The Ilfracombe Disaster - The Victims Fourteen died on The Monarch, two women, twelve men. Their ages ranged from 23 to 63. As well as some background given at their inquests, I have also attempted to find out a little more from the Census.
  		The Ilfracombe Disaster - Survivors Twelve survived The Monarch disaster and I have attempted to find out some brief background for each of them. Those who died have ages attributed to them in the articles / at the inquests but those who survived don't. There is therefore an element of doubt if I have the right person but they are correct on the balance of probabilities.
