I did a tree search on FMP for Ellen Grimshaw b 1822 and there was one match. However, I couldn't view the details because, "This matching person is currently private".

I tried adding Isle of Man for birthplace and the private entry still showed as a match, so that woud appear to be your Ellen.

I did (accidentally!) search b 1822 +/-2 years and another Ellen appeared, b 1821 in Ossett Lancs. The tree says she married James Atherton 15 Feb 1836 in Wigan Lancashire (so aged 15?) and had numerous children.

The marriage looks correct, but I found this Ellen with said husband and children in 1851 and Ellen and James on every census through to 1891 and on all of those she was b about 1817 in Orrell, Lancs. This is prob her:

Baptism: 24 Feb 1816 St Thomas, Upholland, Lancashire, England

Abode: Orrell
Baptised by: Jno. Bird
Register: Baptism 1813 - 1825, Page 78, Entry 624
