Mr. Chrimes had kept the house since February 1895, without any complaint whatever. ... the Bench had decided to dismiss the case, on payment of costs."

Peter's Probate record reads: "CHRIMES Peter of the Roebuck Hotel Bridge Street Warrington licensed victualler died 24 May 1905 Probate Liverpool 21 June to Mary Ann Chrimes widow. Effects £1759 19s 6d".
The www.billiongraves.com record gives date of birth as 4 March 1841 which is unlikely to be correct. |
