Details of parishioners commemorated on the memorial
The following details have been supplied by Mr Stuart Nicholson, Archivist for the Parish of Whitehaven (Church of England). It has been used with permission.
The modern Parish of Whitehaven covers four previously separate Church of England Parishes of Whitehaven - the parishes of St James, St Nicholas, Holy Trinity and Christ Church. The following WW2 casualties were connected to St Nicholas' Parish Church.
------------------
1. George Acton
[Merchant Navy, SS Empire Leopard]
Able Seaman George Acton (a Merchant Navy Seaman) died on the SS Empire Leopard on 2nd November 1942, aged 23. He is commemorated on Panel 43 of the Tower Hill Memorial, London. The letter to his mother, Evelyn, confirming his presumed death was dated 19th May 1943.
The Empire Leopard was carrying 7,410 tons of Zinc Concentrates and Munitions, and was one of 45 merchant ships in Convoy SC-107. This convoy was intercepted by the German 'Wolf pack' Vielchen [Violet] pack and sunk by the German submarine U-402 commanded by Siegfied von Forstner. At 08.03 SS Empire Leopard was sunk in oceanic waters 500 miles north east of Belle Isle at position 52o26’N 45o22’W. Of the crew of 35 merchant men and seven gunners just 3 men survived. They were rescued by the Stockport and landed in Reykjavik, Iceland on 8th November.
The convoy had sailed on 24th October 1942 from Botwood, Newfoundland via St. Johns bound for Belfast, Avonmouth and Liverpool on 30th October.
She had been built in 1917 as the USS West Haven, and had also been known as the West Flame, the Marian Otis Chandler, and the Onomea, and had a grt of 5,520.
George Acton was one of the sons of John and Evelyn Acton (nee Walker). He was one of 4 Whitehaven men killed in this incident - see also William Henry Acton below. The other two (not on any Parish of Whitehaven memorial) were William Scott Truett, (aged 22 of Solway Road) and Thomas William Walters Cradduck (married with 5 children and aged 41, of Marlborough Street). George lived at 93 George Street.
George Acton is also commemorated on the family gravestone 5 / J / 44 in Whitehaven Cemetery. John Acton died on 17th December 1945 aged 77 and Evelyn (Lena) on 12th October 1956 aged 79.

Able Seaman William (known as Billy) Henry Acton (a Merchant Navy Seaman) died on the SS Empire Leopard on 2nd November 1942, aged 27. He is commemorated on Panel 43 of the Tower Hill Memorial, London.
The Empire Leopard was carrying 7,410 tons of Zinc Concentrates and Munitions, and was one of 45 merchant ships in Convoy SC-107. This convoy was intercepted by the German 'Wolf pack' Vielchen [Violet] pack and sunk by the German submarine U-402 commanded by Siegfied von Forstner. At 08.03 SS Empire Leopard was sunk in oceanic waters 500 miles north east of Belle Isle at position 52o26’N 45o22’W. Of the crew of 35 merchant men and seven gunners just 3 men survived. They were rescued by the Stockport and landed in Reykjavik, Iceland on 8th November.
The convoy had sailed on 24th October 1942 from Botwood, Newfoundland via St. Johns bound for Belfast, Avonmouth and Liverpool on 30th October.

William Henry Acton was baptised on 3rd October 1915 at Holy Trinity Church, and married Mary Nulty at St. Nicholas on 10th August 1942. They lived at 51 Church Street.
He was the third son of John and Evelyn Acton (nee Walker) of George Street. A cousin of George and Billy, Abraham Acton, won the Victoria Cross in the Great War. He was subsequently killed, and is on all the Anglican War Memorials of Whitehaven. None of the three Actons has a known grave.
Billy Acton is also commemorated on the family gravestone 5 / J / 44 in Whitehaven Cemetery. John Acton died on 17th December 1945 aged 77 and Evelyn (Lena) on 12th October 1956 aged 79.
----------------------------
3. John Allan
[Army Airborne, Border Regiment]
(Mr Nicholson has confirmed this is the John Allan named on the St Nicholas' Church memorial)
Sergeant John Allan (3598633) of the 1st Airborne Division, Border Regiment died on 22nd September 1944, at the Battle of Arnhem aged 34. He is buried in grave 16 A 4 at Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, where around 1,680 men are buried. He was originally given a battlefield burial at the place where he died- in front of the Hotel Tafelberg, Oosterbeek. In Military records the surname is spelt Allen, although Allan to the CWGC. The family advise that Allen is the correct spelling, and that the DSC (an American decoration) attributed to him by the CWGC is incorrect. There is an American of the same name who was awarded the DSC. (This information was passed on by Major Ray Devlin, Secretary, Cumbria Parachute Regiment Association).
John Allan was the husband of Florence Ruth Allan (nee Smurthwaite), who he had married at St. Nicholas on 24th December 1938. They had two children - William (born 11th October 1940 and baptised at St.Nicholas on 6th November 1940) and Ann Marie (born 24th August 1942 and baptised on 16th September 1942). Both children went to Irish Street Infants School.
They lived at Scotch Street. (The Borough Roll of Honour incorrectly spells his name as Alan).
Florence Ruth’s mother was Mary Jane Smurthwaite (nee Deacon), and her father was a miner George Robert Smurthwaite, of 144 Queen Street. John's father was also a miner, William, of 27 Queen Street. John Allan's brother-in-law, George Robert Smurthwaite (Jnr), was a WW1 casualty and is commemorated on the St Janes' Parish Church WW1 War Memorial (No 170).

Betty was one of the daughters of Walter John and Elizabeth Cowan from the Bransty district of the town. She was baptised at St. Nicholas on 28th March 1915.
Betty’s sister Margaret (baptised at St. Nicholas on 16th November 1913) had tried to sign up at the same time, but failed a medical so she stayed in the town, working for the local newspaper, ‘The Whitehaven News’.
Elizabeth Cowan was omitted from the Borough Roll of Honour.
----------------------------
7. Thomas Fee
[Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, 101 Squadron]
Sergeant (Pilot) Thomas Fee, known as Tom, (Service No 1527088) was serving with 101 Squadron of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve at the time he died on 13th April 1943, aged 32. He was buried in grave 5J50 at Whitehaven Cemetery on 17th April. He had trained as a Pilot in California, and had been serving at Holme-in-Spalding at the time of his death.
In 1934 Thomas was a bricklayer, but later in that decade he became a self employed builder and contractor, with a high reputation.
At the time of his death there were well advanced plans for him to speak at the Borough ‘Wings for Victory’ week later in 1943.
He had married Mabel Dawson (21) at St. Nicholas on 27th July 1931. By then his father (a miner) was deceased, as was Mabel’s father (still alive). The family home had been 103 Duke Street.
Thomas and Mabel set up home initially at 2, Lonsdale Street, Bransty. Their first daughter, Jean, was born there on 30th June 1934 (baptised at St. Nicholas on 25th July). By the time their second daughter, Dorothy, was born on 4th April 1942 (baptised at St. Nicholas on 16th August) they were at 4 Duke Street. By 1947 Dorothy was at St. James Infants School.
Dorothy has a stone below Thomas’s. She subsequently married a Mr Taylor, and became Dorothy Fee Taylor. She died in 2003.

8. Joseph Banks Hayton
[Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve]
Wireless Operator/Air Gunner Sergeant Hayton (1119824) of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve died at 02:28 on 17th November 1943, aged 34. He was buried at Harrington at 2pm on Saturday 20th November 1943. Local newspaper reports state that he was the son of Mrs Howie - see below for an explanation of this.
At around 22:50 on November 16th 1943 Wellington Ic Z8799 of 28 OTU RAF Wymeswold (near Loughborough) with a satellite airfield at Castle Donnington took off for a night navigation exercise and crashed on Anglezarke Moor, above Horwich killing all six crew. About four hours into the flight thick ice had formed on the airframe. This led to a loss of control, with the plane going into a steep dive precipitating structural failure and break up. In the last moments the dinghy came free from its storage compartment aft of the port engine and became entangled in the tail- thus dooming any chance of averting disaster.
A memorial was erected in June 1955 by Horwich Rotary Club, near the footpath once trodden by lead miners on their way to Clough. This is very near the crash site, but in an accessible location. Regrettably it incorrectly gives the date as 12th November.
He had joined the Air Force in 1941 and had only recently returned from 18 months in Africa. Previously he had been an agent for the Britannic Insurance Company.
Although on the St. Nicholas Memorial he was buried at Harrington (St. Mary) Churchyard in the tenth grave from the East on the NE wall. The churchyard was subsequently remodelled and the original gravestone lost. There is therefore now a CWGC stone in the North East Corner of the old Churchyard (very close to his grave) to himself and an R.CF. [Robert Coventry] Blair (South Lancs. Regiment died 8th May 1919), which states that they are buried elsewhere in this churchyard. From the family gravestone at St. Bees this is known to be in the family vault for Private Blair. Gunner Hayton is on the St. Nicholas Memorial because his mother was living at 83 George Street at the date of death. On the Borough Roll of Honour he is incorrectly spelt as Heyton.
The CWGC listings incorrectly state that his parents were Amos and Arm Hayton - that should read Amos and Ann.
Amos Hayton and Ann Banks married at Moresby in 1898. Amos died in 1909, and was buried there in grave 136 on 30th March. Ann Hayton then remarried a widower (miner) William Howie at Harrington on 11th May 1912, when he was aged 47. She lived at 9 West Row, Lowca and he at 10 West Row. William then died and was buried at Moresby in grave 227 on 6th February 1913. Ann remained a widow for the rest of her life and died at 93 Queen Street, aged 75. She was buried at Moresby on 16th June 1949 and is buried in grave South XV 26.
Joseph was baptised privately by Moresby Church on 30th March 1909, when the family were living at Lowca Cottage. As the birth was registered in the June quarter this was probably also his date of birth.
The other members of the crew who were lost were Pilot Flt Sgt J. Timperon, Co-Pilot Sgt E.R. Barnes, W.Op/Gunner Sgt R.S. Jackson, Navigator Sgt G.E. Murray, Air Gunner Sgt M. Mouncey.

[Army, Royal Artillery]
Gunner Martin William J. (852437) of 51 (The Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry) Field Regiment of the Royal Artillery, died on 16th June 1943, age unknown.

It is 419 km North West of Calcutta. He was then serving with 203rd Field Battery, 51st Field Regiment.
He was the son of Nicholas and Mary Isabella Martin. He lived at 46 Bransty Road. He had a brother (Nicholas).

11. Richard Morgan
[Royal Navy, HMS President III]
Able Seaman Richard Morgan (Service No P/JX 26800) was serving at HMS President III, Royal Navy when he died on 19th April 1946 aged 25. He was buried on 23rd April 1946 (from 71 Bransty Row) in Grave 5 / H / 115 at Whitehaven Cemetery. The headstone is a private one, not a CWGC white one. He is not on the Borough Roll of Honour.
HMS President III was a land facility, not a ship, and was the headquarters for personnel serving on defensively equipped merchant vessels.
He was the son of Margaret Morgan who had died on 7th December 1924, aged 27. She was the daughter of Richard & Isobel Coward. Margaret Coward had married Moody Morgan at St. James on 18th November 1918. (Moody was born in the Cockermouth Registration district on 9th June 1889). Richard was baptised at St. James on 1st September 1920. All available evidence is that he was unmarried, and no brothers or sisters have been traced. At baptism the family home was 35 Queen Street.

12. Stanley Thompson Park
[Army, Border Regiment]
Lieutenant Stanley T. Park (Service No. 72565) of the Border Regiment died on 3rd June 1947, aged 29.
He was the eldest of three sons of Mr and Mrs William Thomas Park and the husband of Nancy Lena Park, of Carlisle and is buried at Wreay (St. Mary) Church Cemetery, St. Cuthbert Without, Cumbria.

After leaving the Grammar School (apparently without passing exams) in July 1933 his further education was at St. Peter’s College, York. His brothers were John and Joe.
The marriage had been in the June quarter of 1942 in the Cockermouth area. They lived at Rosehill, Moresby after marriage, but his widow moved to 3 Towers Lane, Cockermouth. They had one child- Patricia Ann who had been born on 17th January 1944. Nancy did not remarry and died at Blackpool in October 2004.

He was buried at Whitehaven Cemetery (from St. Nicholas) on 5th January 1946 in grave 6E69, by the Vicar of Hensingham. As this area is Roman Catholic/Nonconformist his denomination is therefore unclear.
He apprenticed as a printer with Mr Burlington. In 1939 he had joined the Whitehaven News as a compositor. He was also an instructor at a Whitehaven gymnasium and a member of the YMCA gym team. In 1941 he became an instructor to the Egremont flight of the Air Training Corps, and joined the army in late 1943. He was seriously wounded in fighting in Italy.

His parents had married at Holy Trinity on 3rd February 1902. George was then a miner of Tangier Street (father, John was a Barber) and Jane’s father was a Ship’s Plater of Albion Street. At the 1901 census George and his brothers John, Edward, Henry and Alexander were living with their older sister Lilian and her two children while John was living on his own at 105 Main Street, Parton.
From School Records we know that he was born on 20th January 1922 (and baptised 19th February 1922 at Holy Trinity). He was on a 100% County Council ‘Article 15’ grant, having previously attended St. James C of E School. He passed the JMB School Certificate in 1938 in the Lower 6th form.

Lossiemouth (built in 1938/1939) was mainly a training base for 20 Operational Training Unit (Training on Wellington night bombers) although occasional operations were undertaken from there, like 617 (Dambuster) Squadron’s raid on the Tirpitz a few months later. By 1944 it was part of 91 Training Group. It should be possible to find out the details of the accident by visiting the National Archives at Kew and studying document AIR 29/664.
He is also commemorated on the Whitehaven Grammar School memorial (which he attended between September 1933 and June 1939), now on the South Gallery of St. James Church.
