Hi ,i know it's sometime ago that we did this research . About william Grimshaw I checked william grimshaws burial date in Pemberton . and he died age 80 in 1905 . if it helps . I also found the 1851 census with ellen and william living in Durham ,with daughter Margeret aged 6 and Son james age 1 . I believe that's them . perhaps from there they moved to Glasgow . Perhaps James died as they had their second son james in 1856 in Glasgow . I believe we have mentioned margeret before . She doesn't seem to be with her parents later in scotland . but perhaps she stayed with Grandparents ? Unless i can find her death . I thought I may glean more info from the censuses . i can't get the full 1851 census on FS. as it only gives basic info . I can't go to the library yet as places are limited to use ancestry . so if you can let me have a copy of this 1851 ,census i would be most grateful . Shona has mentioned . the grimshaw family in church st . Mother Betty . could it be that the birth of william is wrong .as i have a gut feeling about this family . ? let me know what you think ? thanks

I've found Shona's post regarding the family with mother Betty:

Please can you explain what you mean by, "could it be that the birth of william is wrong".

Ah OK.

The William Grimshaw aged 11 in 1841 is aged 20 in 1851 and still single and living in Church St with his parents William and Betty. Your William was married by then.

All the UK censuses are free to view on Findmypast today. Hope you can find some time to have a look on there before their offer ends! This is a link to that 1851 census on there:

(You will need to have an account on there, but not a subscription.)

Oh, sorry about that. It was letting me view it free when I posted earlier today. I thought "till 3rd May" would mean until the end of the day! It must have ended around 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. Very strange.

Ahi ,I know i'm clutching at straws . but I just thought i'd look at Bolton and little bolton online parish clerks to see if i could find William . i know the name is common . but i did find a william. grimshaw , baptised in 1825 . Father Charles and mother Hannah . it says abode little Bolton . i know it's a long shot but it was worth looking .
