John Royston Douglas WEAVER

1902 - 1947

Merchant Seaman - Master and Commander of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire

m. Lilian Mary TILT (1903 - ~1969)

Narrative and Notes

John Royston Douglas WEAVER was born in May 1902.

He joined the Merchant Navy as a cadet in 1918, aged 16. He worked for the British India Steam Navigation Co Ltd and the P&O Steam Navigation Company.

He married Lilian Mary TILT in Bombay (Mumbai) in 1934.

John died on or about 18 Apr 1947 after his ship, the SS Sir Harvey Adamson was lost. Sir Harvey Adamson SS was a British Passenger/Cargo Ship of 1,030 tons built in 1914. She went missing with 269 people on board. She left Rangoon on the 17th April 1947 intending to reach her destination the next day, but she ran into a south westerly gale. She was never seen again and it was presumed she had struck a mine and went down before a distress signal could be sent.

He is memorialised at the Commonweath War Grave Memorial to Merchant Seamen at Tower Hill, Panel 98¹.

There were no known children, and after his death his wife travelled to Australia alone.
