Note

In 1928, Patrick and Aiden St. Croix travelled together to "stay with their sister, Mrs. T. McGrath" in Boston. This confuses the question of parentage for Patrick, Aiden and Teresa (who married John J. McGrath). Teresa, in her marriage record, states her parents are John St. Croix and Elizabeth Stamp. Patrick in his baptismal record, it is stated that his parents are John St. Croix and Bridget Pippy. Aiden's baptismal record lists his parents as John St. Croix and Bridget (no last name). It does not appear from the dates of these baptismal records that John could have had two wives during that time.; Principal=Patrick St. Croix

On the Royal Navy Records, it states that William is the son of Joseph and Esther St. Croix and that his guardian at death was Mr. Fred Walsh of Trespassey, NFLD.¹

Service #1222X of the Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve was listed as 22 when he died.²

Burial

13 January 1915

At Sea; He is listed on the Newfoundland Memorial in Beaumont Hamel Park in the Somme, France.¹

Death

13 January 1915

At Sea; From Wikepedia: HMS Viknor sank in the Atlantic, off of Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland, on January 13, 1915, with the loss of the entire ship’s 295-strong crew. It is not known if the ship foundered or strunk a mine. She sent no distress signal. Some wreckage and many corpses washed ashore on the northern coast of Ireland.
It is thought she struck a German naval mine, possibly one of those laid by the German Bremen-class cruiser SMS Berlin. Her wreck was found in 2006, and in 2011 a scuba diver placed a White Ensign on it in memory of her complement.¹
