Rear Admiral Sir Errol Manners, KBE (29 June 1883 – 23 October 1953) was a Royal Navy officer and author on theology and British Israelism.[1] He completed fifty-two ocean convoys during the Second World War, including ONM 249 which consisted of 153 ships.[2][3] He wrote segments of research in a lengthy book titled Bible Research published in 1946, which quickly became popular among proponents of British Israelism for its chapter titled "The Hebrew origin of English. Israelite heraldry in Anglo-Saxon countries".

Manners and his three sons, Rodney (1910-1988), Sherard (1920-1990) and John (1914–2020), all served as naval officers in the Second World War. His daughter Angela (1918–2021) served with the Women's Royal Naval Service in the war.[4] John was lieutenant commander aboard HMS Viceroy when it sank the German submarine U-1274 on 16 April 1945. In 2018 his last surviving son John became the world's longest-lived first-class cricketer.[5]
