Peter Francis Judge 23rd May 1916 - 4th March 1992

Peter Francis Judge was born on 23rd May 1916 at 95 Olive Road, Crickelwood, London. He was the only child of Francis Henry Judge and Ethel Mary Judge (nee Merriman).

In 1927 Peter Francis Judge was sent to St Pauls School, Lonsdale Road, Richmond, London. Whilest at the school he excelled at sports, primarly at cricket.

Peter Judge was a skilful fastish medium right-arm bowler who made a remarkable entry into first-class cricket as a 17-year-old in August 1933, only weeks after he had left St Paul's School. Middlesex gave him a game against Surrey at The Oval; he took 5 for 77 in 37 overs and 4 for 62, one of the best first-class debuts a bowler has ever had. In the next game, against Derbyshire at Lord's, he rapidly dismissed the first three batsmen and finished with an analysis of 20-10-27-5. Everything after that was an anticlimax. He only played a handful of matches the following year and then disappeared from the first-class game until 1939 when he became a professional for Glamorgan, taking 69 wickets, including eight for 75 against Yorkshire at Bradford. In the war, he was in the RAF and played some first-class cricket in India. He then returned to Glamorgan and continued to take useful wickets, including seven for 23 on a drying Cardiff pitch against Derbyshire, before injury forced him to retire in 1947. The previous season Judge had the bizarre experience of being dismissed for nought twice inside a minute. In the game against the Indians at Cardiff, he was bowled by C. T. Sarwate at the end of the first innings, at which point Glamorgan followed on. But with little time left, the captain Johnnie Clay decided to give the crowd some entertainment, so he waived the ten minutes between innings, and reversed his batting order. The batsmen then at the crease stayed out there and Sarwate bowled Judge again, first ball.

The reason why Peter Francis Judge went missing from cricket in 1934 is simple, he started a family.
One day in 1933 he and a bunch of friends went to the Lyons Tea house in Piccadilly, whilest being waited on he took a shine to the young lady who was waiting on them. Upon asking her name, he was informed that it was Lilian Biss. He asked her out, which is agreed to. On one of their dates he took her up to Hampstead Heath, which is a large expanse of open countryside with large ponds which are used by people to swim in and back in the 1930's the heath was also used to graze cattle, well one night whilest getting romantic, Lilian, who had her hair done especily for the evening, laid back and put her hair in a cow pat.

By 1934 Lilian Adeline Biss infrom Peter Francis Judge that she was pregnant and after he informed his father Francis Henry Judge, who was very impressed that at the age of 18 he got a women pregnant, insisted that he did the right thing and marry her.

On 2nd November 1934 Peter Francis Judge married Lilian Adeline Biss at Willesden Registry Office. The marriage entry reads; 1934 Marriage solemnized at The Register Office in the District of Willesden in the County of Middlesex.

In 1935 their first child was born; Arlene Rosemary Judge. In 1936 they had their second child; Brian Peter Judge and in 1943 their third and last child Francis Michael Judge.

With 95 Olive Road, Willesden, London, becoming too small for the expanding Judge family, Francis Henry Judge bought a brand new property in Wembley at 32 Rydall Gardens, Wembley, London.

During the war years Peter Francis Judge served as a navigator on Lancaster bombers in the RAF, mainly based in India.

By 1948 he became a publician and ran The Punch Tavern, Fleet Street, City of London and The Three Greyhounds, Old Compton Street, London W1.

In the 1950's, he met a woman called Sybil Jones, whom he started to have an affair with. He left Lilian Adeline Judge (nee Biss) and started living with her. In the 1950's they had a son Anthony Peter Judge.

In 1976 Peter Francis Judge retired from the pub game and retired to a flat in St Johns Wood, London. In that same year at a hotel a 60th birthday party was held for him, where his four children, their partners and (then) 5 of 6 grandchildren attended along with the mother-in-law of his eldest son.

In his latter years he reguly attended Lords Cricket Ground, where he was a life member and also Crockers Folly Pub, 24 Aberdeen Place, Westminster, London.
