I have just looked in the Royal Navy Service Records on the National Archives Documentsonline and there are six pages of John Crosses. However, the only one I could see in the Forest area was born Dursley. Might be worth your while looking there if you think he was in the Royal Navy - it does cost £3.50 to get the full record so you need to be sure you have found the right one. I am not sure whether the Merchant Navy service records are on line but you could look there as well. I got distracted while I was looking as I found the Royal Marines were now digitised and needed to look up a family member who I found. I am going on holiday for three weeks tomorrow so sorry I didn't have time to look any further.
