Henry was a Master Mariner. He was half brother of Frank CHRIMES, also a Master Mariner. Henry appears on the 1911 census with his wife Ellen and their daughter Nellie Gertrude. The 1911 census declares that Henry had 6 children but only 5 survived until 1911. Elimination suggests that Harry must have died, but I cannot find a record of this. Henry was indentured as an apprentice in the Merchant Navy on 16 May 1866 at Liverpool. Henry attained his Second Mate Certificate in 1870. Henry attained his First Mate Certificate in 1876. Henry attained his Master Certificate in 1879. From The Abergavenny Chronicle of 28 September 1894: "SAVING LIFE AT SEA The Board of Trade have also received through the Colonial Office gold watches for Mr. Henry Chrimes, the first officer, and Mr. A Hewitt, the first engineer of the steamer Bensala, of Liverpool, which have been awarded to them by the Canadian Government in recognition of their services in connection with the rescue of the shipwrecked crew of the barque Howard A. Turner, of St. John, N.B., in the Atlantic on January 20, 1890." Henry was admitted to Mill Road Hospital (West Derby Union Workhouse) on 16 July 1895, described as 'Master Mariner'. He was suffering from 'Spinal Meningitis'. She was discharged on 2 September 1895. From The Liverpool Echo of 16 May 1918: "DEATHS - CHRIMES May 15 at Kellock Cottage, Seabank road, Egremont, aged 68 years, Captain HENRY, beloved husband of Ellen Chrimes. Service at St. John's Church, Egremont, today (Thursday, at 11 a.m.; interment afterwards at Rake-lane Cemetery. No flowers, by request.)" |
