William was initiated into the Dee Lodge of Freemasons at Parkgate, Cheshire on 28 December 1876. Until 1901, William used the name CRIMES. From The Cheshire Observer of 6 September 1884: "REFUSING TO QUIT - Moses Bennet and Joseph Bartley, both of Great Neston, were summoned for having been drunk and refusing to quit the licensed premises of William Crimes, at Great Neston of the 2nd of August.- William Crimes, landlord of the White Horse public-house, Great Neston, stated that...." From The Liverpool Daily Post of 27 May 1882: "SERVING A POLICEMAN ON DUTY At the Neston Petty Sessions, yesterday, William Crimes, landlord of the White Horse Inn, Neston, was summoned for supplying a policeman while on duty. - It appeared that Police-constable Hamlet was found in the house on the night of the 12th inst. by Sergeant O'Donell, in the act of drinking a glass of beer. - Defendant said he did not know the officer was on duty - A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed." From another newspaper item we know that William was still landlord of the White Horse in 1887. In 1901 and 1911, William, using the name CHRIMES, was living with his daughter Saran Ann and her husband (his son-in-law) Henry HENSHAW. Michael Mark CHRIMES has commented that William may have been of or born at "?Haddon Hall, Ness" |
