Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with this surname please

Thanks again everyone. Some really interesting ideas to follow up on. I'll try & look into them today & let you know if I get anywhere. I feel a trip to Malta, & even Monaco, might be on the cards!

Thanks for your replies. Jane, family story is that she didn't speak English, but it could be Grimes. Although it looks to me like an 's' in the middle.

avm228 - yes, she had children with Edward Marchant (my great grandfather) & is shown as Virginia Marchant in the 1939 Register, but I haven't been able to find any evidence of a marriage or registration of births of their children (Albert Edward, & Frank & John, I think). She is the Virginia Carmela Marchant who died in 1947.
 Can I ask how you knew about the connection with Edward?

Hi
I'd really appreciate some help deciphering this surname on the 1901 census - 4th one down, first name Virginia. I believe she's my great-grandmother, who came from Malta.
It's been variously transcribed as Gremer or Grimer, but I'm not convinced - neither of these seem to be Maltese surnames and I can't find any other trace of her.
Thanks in advance
