James Nias Croke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commander James Nias Croke R.N. (1 February 1837 – 1879) was the fourth harbourmaster at the Port of Fremantle (1868–1874).

Croke was born in Falmouth, Cornwall on 1 February 1837,[1] the youngest son of Commander Wentworth Parsons Croke R. N. and Mary née Smith.

On 25 November 1858 he was appointed a lieutenant in the Royal Navy.[2] In 1863 he took command of HMS Investigator.[3]

Croke married Ida Frances Dickson (1838 – ?) in 1865. They had a one daughter, Ida Clara Mary.

On 28 April 1868 he was formally appointed the Fremantle Harbourmaster.[4][5]

In 1873 he was promoted to commander on the navy's retired list.[6] In the same year Dalgety Street was renamed Croke Street after him.[7]

In January 1874 Croke took a leave of absence and returned to England with his wife and daughter.[8] He failed to return, and his position was filled in November by George Forsyth.[9]
