Biography

John was born about 1884.[1] He is the son of John McCormack and Annie Farrell.

When he was 15 John was charged with possessing an implement for housebreaking. He pleaded guilty.[2]

It's possible that after the death of his father, Annie, his mother, had very limited support and may have submitted her children to Industrial schools to ensure they were looked after. Her sons Martin and Frank (Francis) gave evidence in the case against certain staff of Stoke Industrial School who were brought up on charges of common assult against residents. [3] John also gave evidence.[4] Her daughter Jane (Jeanie) won prizes at the St Mary's Orphanage.[5]

John died in 1960 aged 76.[6]
