He married Anna Sigrid Maria Brogren from Horn (E) in Chicago in the autumn of 1910. They travelled to Sweden in 1911 in order to visit families in Småland. While they were in Sweden, their son Ernst Gilbert was born. Ernst Danbom persuaded his brother-in-law, Anders's Andersson, to emigrate to America along with his wife and children. The two families, Andersson and Danbom, reserved place on the new the boat Titanic for crossing to USA in 1912. So, the collision with the iceberg happened on the night the 15th of April, 1912. Ernst Danbom lost his life on board Titanic along with his wife, Sigrid, and his son Gilbert.
