I cannot find a birth record for Thomas. In the 1921 England Census Thomas gave his age as 59 years and 11 months, resulting in a birth date of July 1861, which is used here. From The Liverpool Mercury of 17 January 1891: "Thomas Crimes, licensee of the Legs of Man public house, in London-road, was summoned for having served two drunken men on the 24th December. Sergeant Rogers and a constable who visited the place said that the men were very noisy. In reply to Mr. Berry, who defended, the constable stated that he might not have noticed the men if they had not used bad language. Mr Berry contended that the defendant had used every care, and when the men were served there was not the slightest doubt on his mind that the men were sober.- Having heard the evidence, the case was dismissed." From The Liverpool Mercury of 28 February 1891: "Thomas Crimes, the licensee of the Legs of Man public house, Lime-street and London-road, appealed against the decision of Messrs. J.A. Tobin and Isaac Morris, who had fined him 40s. and costs for knowingly allowing prostitutes to remain on the premises longer than necessary to obtain reasonable refreshment.... The conviction in that case would be confirmed." From The Chester Chronicle of 29 January 1916: "ASHTON FARMER FINED AT CHESTER ... Thomas CRIMES, of Ashton, was summoned for unlawfully conveying it [a certain calf] in such a manner as to cause unnecessary suffering... Crimes was dismissed on payment of costs." In 1921 Thomas was working on 'Own Account, At Home'. |
