James Patrick

from:Jarrow
(d.22nd Sep 1914)
James Patrick served in the Royal Naval Reserve and was assigned to HMS Aboukir an old Cressy class Armoured Cruiser. He died on the 22nd September 1914 when it was sunk by a German U-boat. His body was not recovered and he is remembered at Palmer Cenotaph(among the names added after completion) and Chatham Naval Memorial.
He was born in Jarrow on the 30th Jun 1886 son of Andrew and Jane Patrick. He was married on the 27th Dec 1913 to Florence Jeffreys whose address is given as 437 Hawthorne St., Bootle, Liverpool. In the 1891 and 1901 census he is living with his parents Andrew and Jane Patrick at 97 and 105 Tyne Street respectively. In 1901 his father Andrew (57) is a boiler rivetter in the shipyard and James (14) is an apprentice rivetter. I cannot find the entries in the 1911 census.
