I cannot find William in the 1891 England Census.
From The Cheshire Observer of 16 September 1893: "ACTION AGAINST A 'LOVING BROTHER-IN-LAW' Annie Elizabeth Crimes, of Duddon, near Tarporley, sued her husband's brother, William Crimes, for £4 16s. 10d., balance of money lent. Mr. Ernest Brassey, for the plaintiff, stated that on the 12th November, 1891, his client, then a Miss Jones, whose name would be familiar as the schoolmistress at Duddon, lived with her mother. The latter died early in the following year, and defendant and his wife gave her considerable assistance in connection with the funeral. They subsequently went to live a Boughton, Chester, where they started a business. Defendant at that time wrote asking plaintiff to advance him money, and the letter contained this significant sentence, 'Please destroy this letter after you have read it.' It was signed 'your loving sister and brother, William and Ann Crimes', with six crosses at the end of it. Miss Jones forwarded £10 and had never been able to recover the balance now sued for. - HIs Honour said there was unfortunate conflict between the parties, but on the whiole he thought plaintiff's case was the right one. He accordingly gave judgement in her favour."

MESSRS. W.H.
