Founder and Chairman of Board of Directors of White Star Line---Gave £20,000 for Poor Sailors --- LIVERPOOL, Nov. 23---Thomas Henry Ismay, the founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the White Star Line Steamship Company, died suddenly this evening. --- Thomas Henry Ismay was born in Maryport, Cumberland, England, Jun. 7, 1837, and was educated in the Croft House School, Carlisle. In 1852 he went to Liverpool, where he became an apprentice in the shipping firm of Imrie, Tomlinson & Co. After serving his term there he went in a sailing vessel to the west coast of South America, and on his return he directed his energies to developing the Australian wool trade. He became associated with the firm of Philip Nelson & Co. as junior partner, and in 1864 he became one of the Directors of the National line. Two years later Mr. Ismay acquired the business of the old White Star Line of clipper ships, sailing to Australia, which dated from the old days of the gold fever in that continent. He substituted iron for wooden vessels, and in 1869 he formed the White Star Line of steamers. The following year he was joined by Mr. Imrie, the son of the senior partner of the firm with which he had served his articles, and who had also been his fellow-apprentice. In 1881 W. S. Graves became a partner in the firm, and later Mr. Ismay's two sons, J. Bruce Ismay, who was the New York agent of the firm, and James H. Ismay, were also admitted to partnership. T. H. Ismay retired from active membership, but still retained a lively interest in the affairs of the concern. Mr. Ismay was Chairman of the Liverpool and London Steamship Protective Association, a Director of the London and Northwestern Railway Company, Deputy Chairman of the Royal Insurance Company, and served in several royal and departmental commissions. He was High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1892. After the Russian war scare in 1885 Mr. Ismay built two vessels of the Teutonic type, to be used by the Government as fast auxiliary cruisers in case of war. He gave £20,000 as the nucleus of a fund for aged and indigent Liverpool sailors. John Lee, the agent of the White Star Line in this city, said last evening that Mr. Ismay died at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and that word was received here two hours later. Mr. Ismay's health had been failing since September."5Richard Turner, Family History Society of Cheshire

OBITUARY: Margaret Ismay
Wednesday 10 April 1907
MRS. ISMAY, widow of Mr. Thomas Henry Ismay, the founder of the White Star Line, and mother of Mr. Bruce Ismay, head of the International Mercantile Marine Company, died yesterday morning, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Geoffrey Drage, in Cadogan-square, London, where she had been staying for some months. Mrs. Ismay had been in failing health for some time. She was the daughter of the late Mr. Luke Bruce, shipowner, and was married, in 1859, to Mr. Ismay, by whom she had a family of three sons and four daughters. Since her husband’s death in November, 1899, Mrs. Ismay had lived in retirement at Dawpool, Thurstaston, Cheshire. In the early part of 1900, in accordance with her husband’s wish, she gave £10,000 to establish the Margaret Ismay Widows’ Fund as a continuation of the Liverpool Seamen’s Pension Fund, founded by her husband, under the Mercantile Marine Service Association, in 1887, by a gift of £20,000. Mrs. Ismay augmented her gift in October last by a further domination of £5,000. She also contributed £10,000 to the Liverpool Cathedral scheme, and had agreed to provide the great east window of the Cathedral in memory of her husband, while she augmented the benefice of Thurstaston, and the new Dawpool schools were almost entirely the result of her generosity. She was in her 70th year. The funeral will take place at Thurstaston Church, at 3 30 on Friday afternoon."6Census UK 1871 .
