The 1946 marriage is assigned to this Samuel based on age, location and elimination. CheshireBMD gives the location of the 1946 marriage as "Crewe, Civil Marriage or Registrar Attended". Vienna's name is in the marriage index as CAGGATO. From The Manchester Evening News of 30 June 1954: "TIED-HOUSE VERDICT SOON. Now in its fourth week, the Avro "tied-house" dispute will be dicussed by Middleton Council next Wednesday. The Housing Committee will ask for approval of a quit-notice to Mr. Samuel Crimes, a 35-year-old fitter. Mr. Crimes was told a month ago he must leave the Brookside Estate, Middleton Junction, house because he no longer worked for Avro. Fellow-workers jumped to his defence. He and his wife Jeannie have since inquired after a dozen other homes - without success." Samuel's second marriage is presumed to be to a relative of his first wife. There is no record of the marriage in UK records, but perhaps it occured in Gina's home country. From The Aldershot News of 30 August 1985: "BICYCLE TUMBLE ENDED IN DEATH - A tragic bicycle accident triggered off a sequence of events which led to an elderly man's death. Mr. Samuel Crimes (67) was thrown from his bicycle when a shopping bag he was carrying on the handlebars jammed in the front wheel. He clung to life for three weeks after the accident in which he was almost totally paralysed from the neck down. But despite round-the-clock medical attention in the intensive care unit at the Cambridge Military Hospital, Aldershot, he suffered a number of setbacks and eventually died. At the inquest into his death, his widow Mrs. Gina Crimes praised the work of the staff at the hospital. She said "I have no complaint with the hospital at all. They were very good and did all they could up until the last". Mrs. Crimes, of Coleford Bridge Road, Mytchett, sat at the back of Aldershot Court as eye-witness Mr. John Raison told how her husband was thrown about 20 feet through the air while he was riding in Lynchford Road, Farnborough. "He was riding down the road and all of a sudden the front wheel jammed making a breaking noise" said Mr. Raison. "The man landed on his head and then the rest of his body came down on top of it". Police Sgt. Melvin Huckle was one of the first on the scene and spoke to Mr. Crimes as he lay seriously injured in the road. Sgt. Huckle said the pensioner told him: "The bag got caught in the front wheel and threw me off." When he examined the bicycle the policeman found that the carrier bag was completely wrapped round the spokes of the wheel and the bicycle forks. Mr. Crimes was taken to hospital by ambulance and immediately placed on a special traction bed because of contusions of the spine. The same day he suffered two cardiac arrests but was successfully resuscitated. Then he developed an acute stomach ulcer which in turn eventually caused fatal heart failure. Dr. Stuart Matthews told the inquest: "People who are subjected to severe trauma sometimes develop acute ulcers. Despite all the measures we took unfortunately his heart stopped." In recording a verdict of misadventure, the coroner for north west Hampshire, Mr. John Clarke, said he was satisfied that the hospital staff were able to diagnose the exact situation they were faced with." Samuel's Grant of Administration reads: "CRIMES, Samuel of 161 Coleford Bridge Rd Mytchett Camberley Sy died 15 August 1985 Administration Winchester 9 October." |
