Notes
The George Pridmore who was buried at Kemscott Cemetery is strongly believed to be the George Pridmore who was a police constable at the 36-mile station on the Albany Road. In November 1899, a coroner's jury in Jarrahdale heard a case in which a Mr George Pridmore and son Frank were charged with the killing of a Chinese man named Ah Tien, at 'the old lock-up' on the Albany Road sometime between October 8 and 16 in that year. The pair plead Not Guilty, but a verdict of Manslaughter was returned, with George Pridmore serving 6 months.
Mr Pridmore left 447 pounds to Harriet Ann Richardson in his will. Mrs Richardson was Mr Pridmore's housekeeper.
