Possible Descendancy from the Audenshaw Grimshaw Line 

H.C. Grimshaw is probably descended from the Audenshaw Grimshaw family line (click here for a companion webpage). A candidate has been identified in bold in the descendant chart below. The name, location and birthdate are appropriate, but it is not known if this is the correct individual. The descendant chart is from information provided by Norman Grimshaw.
