John Patience was born on the 14th of November 1865 in Avoch, Scotland to David Patience and Janet Ross. He was the 10th of 13 children born to David and Janet.
Avoch, pronounced “Auch”, from the Scottish Gaelic: Abhach – meaning mouth of the stream, is a harbour village located on the south-east coast of the Black Isle, on the Moray Firth in Scotland. The main industry of the area was fishing. The firth itself provided much of the local living. Herring appeared regularly enough to provide important winter fishing, known as the “kessacks” or Kessock Herring. Sprats similarly shoaled in enormous quantities within the confines of the firth, and this “garvie” fishing was also an important feature of the village’s seasonal round. |
The Avoch community was close-knit. A small number of surnames existed in the village - Patience, Jack and MacLeman. With so many sharing the same surnames, by-names were a necessity to avoid confusion.
He married Mary McIntosh Patience on the 21st of September 1888 in Avoch. They had 13 children; Simon Patience, Helen Patience, Janet Patience, Alex J Patience, David Patience, Mary Patience, George Patience, Daniel Patience, Anna Patience, James Patience, Jean Patience, Jessie Patience, Margaret Patience, and Robert Patience.
