#William and Jennie (Attridge) Grimshaw
George Grimshaw provided the following information in a letter to Edwin Grimshaw in 1980:
Grimshaw, George E. – Pittsburgh, PA – (EAG 19)
1/27/80
Dear Mr. Grimshaw
I too have wondered about the genealogy of my family but have only very meager information.
My father born in 1883, married to Alice Roarke, was born in N.Y.C. and died about one year ago at the age of 95. He lived in N.Y.C. most of his life and his parents died at any early age so I know nothing about his parents other than their names – William Grimshaw and Jennie Attridge, both born in England.
Since the name is so unusual, I imagine there is a relationship some where along the line between your family and mine but it probably goes back to the early 1800s or before.
Sorry I have not been much help to you.
Did you know that there is a tiny town in Canada (Province of Alberta) by the name of Grimshaw? I retired recently so some day I may take a trip up there and perhaps learn something of its history. Perhaps in the meantime you might send an inquiry to that town.
If I should develop any new information, I will be glad to pass it along.
Sincerely,
George E. Grimshaw Jr.
