I think we can rule out Albert William Kendrick. I think this could be the death of his wife:

Birth Date: 26 Feb 1900
Date of Registration: Jun 1974
Age at Death: 74

This was his marriage, I think:

A word of caution about Liverpool RC baptisms.
They can be hard to find as they Latinise the the names.

Shame, but the Liverpool baptisms (inc RC) only go up to 1906, there are a few Kendricks but various families.

(Latin's not a problem - learned it when I was in the convent).

Amateur Theatricals (continued}



The North London O.S. in " The Runaway Girl " at the
Marlborough Theatre. A spirited performance, showinf
careful rehearsal and skilful stage management. A lew of
the soloists appeared rather overpowered by the size of the
theatre ; the choruses, too, might have been heavier with
good effect. Mr. Murray Short, who was also responsible
for the stage management, scored a distinct success as Flipper.
The Brother Tamarind of Mr. Rex Joseph was a capital pre-
sentment, as also was the Guy Stanley of Mr. Chas. G.
Dickinson. The group of bloodthirsty villains, impersonated
by Messrs. Harrison Palmer, Lionel Dickinson, and Harold
Owen, led by Mr. Hector Reisert as Pistro, were better studies
histrionically than vocally. Of the ladies, the Alice of Miss
Nellie Craig and the Winifred Grey of Miss Katharine Craig
stood as being well above the average, each dancing and
singing with grace and skill. Miss Lilian Estelle's Carmenita
was delightfully droll, and the Dorothy of Miss Anna Mac-
Dowall was a graceful presentment. The cast was completed
by Messrs. Douglas Hale, Will J. Stamp, Junr., Edmund
Waterman, Bert Hickman, Henry Green, John L. Noble, and
Misses Ada King, Cecilia MacDowall, May Jennings, Lilian
Sutcliffe, and Florence Hazell, each doing their share in
making the production a pronounced success. The musical
direction was in the capable hands of Mr. Robert S. Ker, who
is to be congratulated on the sympathetic support accorded
by the orchestra.

BLISS, Henrietta (54, no occupation), FRY, Robert (39, ostler), DAVIS, George (29, dealer), BRAMS, Charles (32, dealer), JUDSON, Harry (26, dealer) ; all breaking and entering the warehouse of Karl Reisert and stealing therein two bales of cloth and divers other articles, his goods, and feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted; Mr. Burnie and Mr. Bohn appeared for Davis; Mr. Purcell appeared for Brams.
Judson pleaded Guilty.
KARL REISERT , 237, Caledonian Road, manufacturer of drapery goods. On January 24, when I left, everything on the premises was safe. When I arrived at the warehouse at nine o'clock on the 25th I found the warehouse had been broken into, the ventilator and skylight having been removed. The floor was strewn with goods, and I found one of my barrows in the yard filled with my goods. It was not there when I left the premises the day before. The approximate value of the articles missing was £125. I have seen the property recovered. I identified it at the police station as mine. There is still some part of the property missing.
EMILY FORD . I am employed by the prosecutor as forewoman. I personally locked up the premises on January 24. The goods were then all safe. When I arrived there at 8.30 a.m. on the following day I found the place in disorder and a number of goods missing.
Police-constable FRANK TROTT. On January 25 I was keeping observation in Brooksby Street, after Judson was in custody. Barnsbury Mews is in Brooksby Street. I first went into Brooksby Street on Saturday evening between eight and nine o'clock. I saw the prisoner Brams, whom I know, drive into Barnsbury Mews with a horse and trap. He was alone. About nine o'clock he drove out again; he was then accompanied by someone. At a quarter to one in the morning of the following day he returned with the horse and trap.
See original
Prisoner Davis was with them then. I then went to the stables in company with other officers. At that time Brams was in the stable, and Davis was walking up the yard from the stables as I walked down. I said to him, "You will have to come back to the stables." He said, "It is nothing to do with me; I have just come for a ride with this man," and he pointed to Brams. Then he said, "The stables are nothing to me, and you cannot get me inside there again." While I was speaking to Davis Brams came out. He said to Davis, "You know nothing of this, mind. Say nothing." I then took Davis in custody. In answer to the charge he said, "I shall tell the truth."
Cross-examined by Mr. Purcell. There were three other officers with me. The stable occupied by Brams is the first on the right-hand side going down the mews. When I first came there Sergeant Osborne or Detective Butt were talking to Brams in the stables. I did not hear their conversation. Davis was well away from Brams when I spoke to him.
Sergeant GEORGE OSBORNE, Y Division. At 12.15 a.m. on January 25 I was with Police-constable Butt and other officers in Brooksby Street, and I saw Brams driving a horse and cart into the Barnsbury Mews; the prisoner Davis was sitting by his side. When I got down to the stable occupied by Brams I found him unharnessing the horse. I said, "I am a police officer," and he said, "Yes, I know you, Mr. Osborne. What do you want?" I said, "I am making inquiry respecting a quantity of linen that has been stolen from 237, Caledonian Road to-day. A man has been arrested with some property in his possession while coming from the direction of this stable and I have reason to believe that you have some more on your premises." He said, "I rent the stables, and the upstairs are let by me." I then turned to Davis, who was with him, and asked him what he was doing there. He said, "I have only come here with my friend" (pointing to Brams) "to see some stuff." I said, "What stuff?" He replied, "I do not know." I then told Brams I should search the stable. He said, "You will not find anything here." I went upstairs, and there saw five bales of linen and a quantity of aprons and petticoats. Mrs. Bliss was in the room. I asked her who brought them there. She said, "I do not know." I then told Brams what I had found. He said, "I cannot help what they do upstairs. It is nothing to do with me. Mrs. Bliss at that time said to Brams, "You see what you have brought me to." I told Brams and Davis that I should take them into custody for stealing and receiving property well knowing it to be stolen. Brams said, "You know it is not my game." Davis said, "I only came to look at the stuff." I saw Fry there. He was in the stable assisting to unharness the horse. He came up into the room with me but another constable dealt with him. I did not speak to Fry at all. I conveyed Brams and Davis to the station and searched them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Purcell. This interview took about 20 minutes or half an hour. Police-constable Butt went upstairs with me at that time. The others went up afterwards to remove the property. Brams was not very excitable. I thought he took things very
See original
coolly under the circumstances. He does not live on the premises. He may have had a drink or two, but he was perfectly sober, and I consider he knew perfectly well what he was doing.
Police-constable JAMES BUTT, C Division. I took Judson into custody at seven o'clock, after which I remained watching the entrance to the mews until one o'clock the following morning. I saw the prisoner Brams drive up. I accompanied Sergeant Osborne into the mews. He spoke to Brams. I went upstairs with Sergeant Osborne. The female prisoner Bliss was up there. It was a living room and a bedroom combined; more like a loft than anything else. The property was on a mattress in the corner of the room on the floor. I should say there were about five bales and a quantity of linen aprons. I took the female prisoner Bliss into custody, the other police-constables took the other men. When I took Bliss into custody, Fry said, "What do you want to take her for? She has nothing at all to do with it." He said to Bliss, "You need not worry yourself about it, you will get out of it" They were then both taken to the station and charged.
Cross-examined by Mr. Puroceil. I was there the whole time when Sergeant Osborne first spoke to Brains. I heard portions of the conversation, but not the whole, as I was going upstairs.

Detective-inspector ARTHUR NEIL, Y Division. About 12.30 p.m. on Sunday, January 26, I saw all the prisoners detained at the Caledonian Road Police Station. In consequence of what I was told, I said to Fry: "I am a police-inspector, and before charging you with any offence I will give you an opportunity of explaining your position and what you had to do with the stables, No. 1, Barnsbury Mews, where all this property was found at that time. I am given to understand that you work as horsekeeper for Brams. He said, "Yes; I work for him and sleep over the stables with my wife, but the property which was found there has nothing to do with me." I said, "The woman you speak of as your wife is Bram's mother-in-law; her name is Bliss." He said, "Yes; well, she is not my wife, we are living together. I will tell you all about it." He then made a statement. I said to Brams, "This man has made a statement in which he says that you (Brams) are the occupier of the premises, 1, Barnsbury Mews, where all this property was found; that he works for you as a horsekeeper, and lives with your mother-in-law, Mrs. Bliss, and sleeps in a place over the stables, and that your brother-in-law, Thomas Bliss, also sleeps there; Davis is an acquantance of yours and is often at the stables with you." Brams said, "Yes, that is quite right. I rent the stables, and he" (Fry) "looks after my horse and cart; he used to rent the place over the staples, but he got behind with his rent and now I pay it for him and stop sixpence per day out of his wages. The woman known as his wife is my mother-in-law, and Thomas Bliss is my brother-in-law." Then it was I read the statement over to him. (Fry's statement was then read by the witness.) Brams then said to Fry, "What did you want to open your mouth to them for and let them put down just what they like; why did not you keep your mouth closed?" Fry said, "Well, I only
See original
told them the truth." Brams then said, "They could not prove anything against me, you know I was not there when they brought the stuff there; it is nothing to do with me what they have over the stables; I am not supposed to know." Davis said, "I have nothing to do with the place; I did not see the stuff; I met this man" (referring to Brams) "about 8.30 in the Barnabury Road, and went for a drive with him; he was a bit the worse for drink by the time he got back to the stables." I then said to him, "I have reason to believe you were concerned with others in committing this robbery and I am going to charge you with stealing and receiving it." Brams said, "All right, Mr. Neil, you have got this up for me, but it is no use charging me, because I shall get acquitted." Then he said, "I shall get out of this; I knew the stuff was there, but you will have to prove that." When charged, Brams said, "I am innocent; I shall get acquitted; you can put that down." Fry said to Brams, "You know it is your place and you pay the rent." Davis said, "I had nothing to do with getting the stuff." Davis gave his name and address as Rowton House, King's Cross. I afterwards said, "I have reason to believe that is not your address." Bliss said to Brams, "See what you have done for me." They were all charged and put up at the court the following Monday, when Brams said, "I know who brought the stuff there, and you know, and he is going to surrender; the stable is mine, but he" (referring to Fry) "lives upstairs and I pay the rent."
Cross-examined by Mr. Purcell. I had a good deal of conversation with Brams over this, but he knew what he was talking about. I should not say he spoke at random. (To the Judge.) The robbery took place at Caledonian Road, and this stable at Barnsbury Mews is about a quarter of a mile away. Judson was arrested, as far at I remember about seven o'clock or a little earlier. He was coming from the stables, and going towards Liverpool Road. He was a few yards from the stables when arrested with some of the stolen property on him.
Mr. Metcalfe stated that with regard to Davis the prosecution considered tire case was not strong enough against him as there was no actual possession under any circumstances.
The learned Judge agreed.
Davis was ordered to be discharged.
(Defence.)
ROBERT FRY (prisoner, on oath). I am a horsekeeper. I was in the stables about half-past eight in the morning with Thomas Bliss. He is my stepson. I was cleaning my horse, when. two or three more chaps brought a barrowloa? of stuff in. Thomas Bliss and one of the other chaps took it upstairs and put it in the loft. I did not see what stuff it was they took up, as I was busy cleaning the horse. I was getting it ready for Brams to go out with about 11 o'clock. I had the horse and trap all ready for him and Brams got up and drove away. He had nothing to do with the stuff upstairs.
See original
I went round to Brams' house myself, and never came back again before half-past six at night. I came back along with Brams and put the horse away. I went upstairs about 7.30 at night. I saw all the stuff there. I could see then it was linen and stuff, but I did not know where he (Bliss) had got it from. Brams did not know the stuff was there. I went out with Brams, and I came back about half-past nine. I met Davis in the Barnsbury Road. I left Brams then. I did not give any information to the police because I did not know where the stuff had come from. I did not know it had no business there. Judson was the man who brought the barrow. He was one of the men who came in the morning.
Cross-examined by Mr. Metcalfe. I occupy with Mrs. Bliss this room in which the stuff was placed. I saw there was a quantity of property put into the room, but I did not know where Bliss got it from. I asked him what he had got there. He said "Stuff." I did not take much notice. I have never had property like that brought into my room before. When Brams came round at 11 and drove away, Thomas Bliss was upstairs, but Brams did not see him; he did not know he was there. The barrow was not there then; it had been taken away by Judson. Thomas Bliss was there at 6.30, but Brams did not have a long conversation with Bliss and the other men then. (To the Judge.) There is only one room upstairs, where myself, Henrietta Bliss, and my stepson, Tom Bliss, sleep. We have our meals in the same room. Brams pays the rent, but he stops 6d. a day out of my wages. I did not think that Bliss had suddenly gone into business. It was no good my saying anything to him, because he was always master.
HENRIETTA BLISS (prisoner, not on oath). I did not know I was doing wrong; I did not see the property come in there; I did not see it come in till it was brought in.
Verdict, All guilty, but that Henrietta Bliss and Fry were the tools of Brams.
Brams confessed to a conviction for felony at Cardiff in 1901. Judson confessed to a conviction for felony at Clerkenwell in 1905. Numerous other convictions against Brams were proved.
Sentences: Brams and Judson, Three years' penal servitude; Fry and Bliss, who were recommended to mercy by the Jury, one week's imprisonment.
