Zodiac Sign Is Unknown.

Juli Rachel Christi was born as Dachel Juli Cohen in Lewisham, Kent, England in early 1887 to Moreno Cohen (born 1856) and Alice Frances Hones (born 1860). Her mother bailed from Woolwich, Kent and worked as a psychiatric nurse before she was married in 1885. Little is known about her father, except that he was likely Jewish and died in 1890. She had 2 siblings: Jacques Moise (born 1885) and Amy Frances (born 1888). Following the death of her father her mother had her and Alice baptized on April 26th, 1891 in St Stephen's Church, Walworth, Surrey.    

He first appears on the 1891 census living with her mother, singalongs, and uncles Walter Jones on Albany Road, Perkham, London and her mother was described as a grocer. Later to support the family, Juli's mother continued to work as a nurse and, perhaps unable to care, the 1901 census shows Juli and her sister as inmates at an infant orphan asylum in Wanstead, Essex. Her mother was remarried in 1902 to Frederick Alexander Chrisy (born 1846), an importer ox textile spinning machines, but he died less than a year later. Juli and and her sister adopted the name Christy as their own.

Aboard Titanic/April 14th-15th, 1912:
Juli boarded the RMS Titanic at Southampton as a 2nd class passenger together with her mother and sister Amy Jacobsohn and her husband Sidney Jacobsohn. She was travelling to Montréal, Québec. The ladies weren't unfamiliar with travel: on May 3rd, 1907 the trio left England bound for Montréal aboard the Empress of Ireland, another ill-fated ship.

Juli, her mother, and sister survived the sinking. They were rescued by the RMS Carpathia but on which lifeboat is unknown.

After The Sinking/Later Life/Death:
Together with her mother and Mrs. Amy Jacobsohn, she returned to England aboard the Meganic on May 11th, 1912. Undeterred by her experiences on Titanic, Juli crossed the Atlantic again in 1915, this time on the Allen Line's Scandinavian and returning with the White Star Line's Baltic.

She never married and seemingly spent her last days living in the Mostyn Hotel on Portman Street in Marylebone, London. She died in the hopsital on October 30th, 1931 at the age of 44.
