Carroll, James, English
Accent the 'Roll' in this Carroll
He was a secular priest in the days of Archbishop Carr and Mannix, a superb humorist, always in trouble with P.P.s, and accordingly extremely mobile. He had the further distinction of being attacked by a 'crank' with a knife on a Collins Street cable tram in 1894. James, who insisted that the accent was on the 'roll' in his name, was born in Liverpool and educated in Ushaw. A report of his father's death appears in the Advocate of 1911, and he had a brother, Thomas, who was on the English Mission. Ordained in 1869, James was stationed on the English Mission until arrival in Melbourne on the 'Cusec' in February 1882. And now we list the long list of stations where the mobile curate made many friends among the laity and not a few enemies among the all-powerful P.P.s of the day:- Coburg (1882); Geelong (1883)(1884); Gisborne as pastor in 1884-5; St. Francis' (1886); Carlton (1887}; Gordon (1887); Kyneton (1888); West Melbourne (1892); Collingwood (1894); South Melbourne (1895); North Fitzroy (1895); St. Kilda West (1896)(1898); Coburg (1898)(1900); Elsternwick (l901)(1904); Northcote (1908)(1911); Queenscliff (1915)(1917) - on leave (1916); St. Patrick's Cathedral (1920)(1924). He had the further distinction of being the oldest priest (and of course the oldest curate) when life's fitful fever ended at Mount St. Evin's Hospital on 11 October 1924. He was interred in the Mortuary Chapel at the Melbourne General Cemetery.
