John was another Filey fisherman who was caught up in the war when his boat, the Carisford, became part of the Royal Naval Reserve and was sent on minesweeping duties.  This was in early 1916, and he had spent two and a half years performing these duties before he was also taken ill with pneumonia like George Jenkinson, and the trawler forced to be put ashore in Edinburgh in order to take him to hospital.  This was on October 23^rd, and within six days he had died of his illness at Naval Hospital Granton just a couple of days before his 26^th birthday.

          He was the son of William Jenkinson of 11, Mitford Street and his body was brought back to Filey and laid to rest in St. Oswald’s Churchyard.
