I was doing some digging today and came
across your address. I hope we can help
each other. My grandfather (Leslie) was
born in Wigan (June11,1918) to James and Amy(Nuttall).
GD's uncle was the John (Jack) that got the
VC in Turkey 1915. There is a few of us here
in Canada

As I have just started I have not much in
England but would love any help.

My Grimshaw family are from the Wigan area and other surrounding parts of Lancashire. I would be happy to share any information about my family tree with you.

My great grandmother was Margaret Grimshaw born in Hindley in 1845 and died in 1888, I think she died in Morley.
She was the daughter of Richard Grimsahw b. 1815 in Ashton in Makerfield d. 1884 in Wigan and Catherine Bushell b. 1812 in Hindley and died in 1856.
Margaret married John Kirkman in 1867 in Hindley and they moved to Morley Yorkshire where my grandmother Margaret was born in 1880 - she died 3.09.1938 in Hindley Green.
When my great grandmother died the family returned to the Hindley and my great grandfather remarried.

I was most interested to see your message on the VC website, concerning my Father, Leslie Grimshaw and my Grandfather, John Grimshaw(VC)
I am the oldest of Leslie and Elsie Grimshaw's children' the others being:
John Anthony Grimshaw 19 11 1949 currently living in Hull
Fiona Mary Grimshaw( Beric)16 1 1960 currently living in France and
David Andrew Grimshaw living in Uxbridge, Middlesex.
I would be happy to talk if this information is of any interest to you.
Best wishes
Joan Ure( previously Grimshaw) Bedford, UK
