Boston, Lincs and The Wash

[Wharncliffe]

First of all thanks to everyone who replied with tips what to look for.
Part of the book I am writing will focus on the internment of the sailors in Germany. One trawler, Skirbeck - BN81 (photo attached) was 22.08.1914 Sunk by Cruiser gunfire in North Sea, crew taken as prisoners.
The crew are listed below. The skipper, J.T Baker died in the prison camp. The challenge would be finding as much information as J. T Baker as I can. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you all again
Mark
PS - I found the his card on the IRC website, needs translating lol
J. T. Baker, Skipper (died in prison camp)
W. Ward
H. Marsden
L. Braime
J. Bontoft
G. Warner
H. Bontoft

I know the names Braime and Bontoft in a Boston context only. The other names I believe are widely distributed.

Did you check Lewis Braime on the ICRC site?

Hello Mark,

Ive just seen your post on Rootschat about the Boston fishermen in WW1.
My wifes grt grandfather was Charles WALKERLEY who was on the Julian captured in 1914, came home Jan 1918.
We have been researching the Walkerleys for some years and a few years ago I had been in contact with a lecturer at Lincoln college/uni who sent me some details. 
I have a transcript of the newspaper report of the homecoming in 1918 of some of the fishermen (along with other prisoners.
There is also a book published privately about the Boston fishermen ...not sure if it is still available though, but i think there is a copy in Boston library.  Charles and other men are in photo on the front cover.

There is also a Ruhleben POW camp website which has a lot of names and info on it...it was run very much on British social class lines! 

We now live in Lincs having moved in Dec 15 from down south, so now i am continuing the research into the Walkerleys.

Do let me know what your interest is and I will try and help.
