Robert Burdon, 14 months old, was the son of Andrew and Ellen Burdon. They lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Robert was traveling aboard Lusitania with his mother, Ellen. Both mother and son survived the Lusitania sinking, presumably in lifeboat 15, which was picked up by the Wanderer (Peel 12).
