An 1849 Petition for Bankruptcy at Salford (giving occupation as Journeyman Joiner and residences as 22 Sandford-street, Salford and previously 28 Ruby-street, Hulme) may apply to this Joseph, but alternatively may apply to Joseph CRIMES b.1810.
In the 1861 UK Census, Joseph had living with him and his wife Mary:
William Crimes nephew age 36 (son of Joseph's brother Thomas) and Sarah Cawley niece age 9 (believed to be the daughter of Joseph's wife Mary's sister Sarah Cawley nee HUGHES d.1854).
The 1860 marriage is assigned to this Joseph based on information from Philip CRIMES, despite it being in the name CHRIMES, several years after Joseph and Mary started living together and many miles from Chester where they were both born. The occupation Joiner/Carpenter, and father's name Thomas add weight to the argument.
From the Chester Chronicle of 19 January 1867: "CRIMES - 11th inst., at his residence, George-street in this city, Mr. Joseph Crimes, joiner, much respected and deeply regretted, aged 62 years."
Joseph's Proving of Will reads: "1 February The Will of Joseph Crimes late of the City of Chester Joiner deceased who died 11 January 1867 at the City aforesaid was proved at Chester by the oath of Mary Crimes of George Street in the City aforesaid Widow the Relict one of the Executors. Effects under £100"
Joseph's will is accessible online at FamilySearch.org.
Joseph appears on the Index to Death Duty Registers for 1867. |
