Ldg Stoker James Cross

Royal Navy HMS Manchester

My father was an RAF passenger on Manchester during Operation Substance, 10th - 26th July 1941. Jim Cross showed him the ropes, lent him his hammock, etc. My father tried to find Mr Cross after the war, without success, But other survivors of H.M.S Manchester's crew remember Mr Cross only up to the time of the repairs at Philadelphia Navy Yard. After that he joined another ship. Does anyone know his whereabouts?

In the Index of Marine Deaths at the General Registry there is a James H. Cross, Chief Stoker, who was killed at Donibristle, the Royal Navy Aircraft Yard near Rosyth, in 1943. I fear this may be Jim Cross. I'd be very grateful for any information.
