I wonder if she is related to the Astor family which went down on the Titanic.

She married Vincent Astor who was the son of JJ Astor who went down on the Titanic. Vincent had a younger brother who was in utero on the Titanic. I believe (not sure) that Vincent (obviously a young boy) was not on the ship.

So Brooke never met her (third) father-in-law because he was lost at sea decades before she married into the Astor family.

Actually, Vincent was the son of JJ Astor's first wife.....who he divorced to marry 18 yr old Madeleine (who was carrying his child)
