William has been linked to his parents by a bible inscription submitted by Jessica CHRIMES.
I cannot find William on the 1851 or 1891 UK Census.
From The Dudley Herald of 7 May 1898: "BOROUGH POLICE COURT YESTERDAY - AN UNLICENSED TRAP. - William Chrimes and Geo. Chrimes, Queen's Cross, were summoned for keeping a carriage without a license - Mr. W. Saunders (supervisor) said that the trap had been used for some time by the firm. There was no doubt as to the liability as the vehicle was a highly varnished, silver-mounted one. - James Eccles, an officer of the Inland Revenue, stated that on the 28th February he saw Mr. William Chrimes driving a trap in Queen's Cross. - William Chrimes was fined 20s. and costs, and the case against George was dismissed." There was no evidence of the use of the trap for taking payment from passengers - it seems that merely owning it without a license was illegal!
From The London Gazette of 30 March 1888: "Notice is hereby given, that the Partnership heretofore subsisting between William Chrimes and elder and William Chrimes the younger, under the style or firm of William Chrime [sic] and Son, as Iron and Steel Forgers, Anvil and Vice Manufacturers, and Iron-founders, and carried on by them at the Dock Forge, Dudley has been this day dissolved by mutual consent. The said William Chrimes the younger retires. The business will in future be carried on by William Chrimes the elder, who will pay and receive all debts owing from and to the late firm. Dated the 27th day of March 1888."
From Kelly's Directory for Worcestershire 1900: "IRON MANUFACTURERS Chrimes Wm. & Son, Dock forge, Ddly". The reference to a son is at odds with the notice of dissolution of partnership, but the firm may have continued to use that name after 1888 even though William jnr. played no part in it.
