  • Notes 
    • BIRTHPLACE: Some family and other sources note William's last name as "Grimchad." There are no Grimchads in any census in England, and in the 1861 British Census, William's last name is "Grimshaw." Therefore, that is the name we have noted.

      OCCUPATION: 1891--Bookkeeper. 1901--Commercial Traveler.
