Seeking Thomas Crimes possibly b1862 Duddon

[stitchwitch]

There is an odd 1891 entry you may want to take a look at 

Thomas Crimes b 1864 Duddon living in Liverpool with a 39yr old widow Agnes Heathcote who is shown as his mother!!

I think you're right again, thank you!

Between them, the census bloke and the transcriber seem to have made a right  imperial pigs ear of that household. The kids are clearly Agnes' (not Thomas' as transcribed) and I'll stand hanging if she had him when she was ten. The word "mother" which appears to have been added as an afterthought looks more likely to be a half-baked method of indicating that she is their mother, not that she is his.

Re my reply 3 - did you have a look at that 1891 entry.

Hehe! I was just doing that - we crossed in the post!

Imperial pigs ear just about sums it up

No wonder Dad, without internet and with maccular degeneration, was somewhat flummoxed LOL.

There used to be a website - www.chrimes.org - did you ever check that ? It no longer exists but I downloaded some pdfs for it and it had your Thomas as "Thomas Chrimes" (with an 'h') under the Tarvin branch.

I can't seem to attach a screenshot of the entry for him - if you know how to do so and want me to send it, do let me know.

I'm struggling with how to do that too. Simplest solution is I'll PM you an email address and  you can sling it over as a file attachment, if you wouldn't mind?

Cheers,
Stitch

Hi, Stitch, I messaged you yesterday to say the email address you sent was "aborted" by Yahoo's server three times. Do you have an alternate email I can use ? Regards. Simon
