Richard Grimes b1856 Lancaster

Hi

I'm drawing a blank on finding out what happened to my great great grandad:

Richard Grime(s)
b 1856 Lancaster
m to Mary Jane Richardson

He is in the 1891 census as Head of the household but not in the 1901. His wife is living with her children and brother who is Head of the household.

I do know that the child Rhoda Mary b 1898 isn't Richard's child (father unknown).

I'd be very grateful if someone could help?

Thank you
Claire Hawkins

FreeBMD have a death of a 42 year old Richard Grime in Preston, Lancs.

It's the likeliest one so far - thank you.

I'll apply for the death certificate, see if it gives any more info.

His wife says she is ‘married’ in 1901.


Have you seen and eliminated the 1937 death in Lancaster?
