John Marrion, according to official records, was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1886 and lodged at 166. Park Lane, Liverpool, Lancashire.
He engaged as a trimmer in the Engineering Department on board the Lusitania on the 12th April 1915 at Liverpool at a monthly wage of £6-0s.-0d., and was killed when she was sunk, aged 29 years.
Apart from this, nothing is known about his life or sea service.
His body was never found and identified afterwards and as a result, he is commemorated on the Mercantile Marine War Memorial at Tower Hill, London.
