Hi my name is Robert Loakes. You will have probably read my post on jack James and hist wife and daughters who died on the Sagaing.
Can I help in any other way?
I am confused why you think that Jack James was called Francis. What information do you have on that?
Jack James was in the Army in late 1939 in India with his wife and 2 children. At the outbreak on the war they had to return to the UK. He was on 1 boat and his wife and 2 children were on the Sagaing. They were lost overboard near Cornwall as were many others during a 'expected' submarine attack.

I don't mind giving an email address if it helps as I could give you some more information.

Regards
Robert

Roy,I guess it is Roy?
My mother in laws father's 1st wife was lost with 2 children on the sagaing as noted in the original post by Martin about the cemetery in Skerray.
Do you still need further information?

I have via Martin also heard from someone else who lived in Canada who was on the sagaing at the time of the accident in oct 1939 and knew the people who were lost.

Would you like further info?

If you have anything that you could share, that would be good too.
Thanks Robert Loakes

Martin, Hi

I have more detail for the Peggy James you mention.

Her husband was a Jack James(born Abingdon, Oxs). HE is my wife's grandfather.

He married again to a Peggy Joy Belton in 1943/1944? and he died just after D-Day in Herioville near Caen France. He is buired in Ranville France. They had one daughter Angela James now Angela Tate.

I have been trying to get further info for my mother in law on the whole affair and having this extra info helps.

Where exactely was the grave? My mother in law would like to visit some time.

Have attached one pic. Would you like more pics of them and/or further info at all?

Regards

Robert Loakes
