I cannot find Thomas Crawford beyond the 1891 UK Census.
The following is likely to apply to Thomas Crawford, from The Birkenhead News and Wirral General Advertiser of 10 November 1894: "STEALING A SHED FOR A BON-FIRE At the Borough Police Court on Tuesday, before Messrs. T.L. Dodds and G. Atkin, five respectable looking boys named Thomas Crimes, [of] 18, St. Mary's-avenue; ... were all charged with stealing a quantity of timber, the property of the Joint Railway Companies; also with damaging a shed, the property of the same company, on the 5th inst. - P.C. 20 (Rigby) stated that ... Evidence was also given by a lot of boys, all of whom had seen the prisoners carrying the wood away for the purpose of making a bon-fire. ... Turford, who was the youngest of the offenders was dismissed with a caution, but the magistrates said that as the others were all sixteen years of age, and ought to have better sense they would each have to pay a fine of 5s. and 3s. 6d. costs, or go to prison for 7 days in default of payment." |
