John Arthur "Jack" Prideaux was a Third Class steward of the Titanic. He died in the sinking. He was born at Southampton, Hampshire on 24 April 1888 at a house in Victoria Road, Woolston. He was the son of John Davey Prideaux and Annie Elizabeth (formerly Slade). His father, originally from Teignmouth, Devon was, at the time of his sons birth described as an eating house keeper. This job, and his marriage to Annie seems to have been quite short lived as within 3 years he is shown on the 1891 census as living in Sussex, unmarried and working as a head waiter.
