The OED, under critch, refers one to cratch, which is defined thus:
"Some cutaneous disease attended with itching"

Critchwright might refer to a producer (carrier!) of itch, which in the short hairs of the pubic region could be caused by crabs, obtained from some doxy at Wapping Stairs.

Avoid contact with this geezer!
