William Grimshaw

[aidansrest]

Hi

Can anybody help in locating a baptism for a William Grimshaw, born in Sunderland c1813?

He married Jane Pickard in Yorkshire in 1837, before returning to Sunderland.

Many thanks

Sue

Thanks!

I know William also had a brother, John, born c 1812 in Sunderland - but no baptism that I can find.

Thanks again

Strangely - the 1841 has a 25yr old William Grimshaw occ grocer living in Durham - no wife though.  Can't see an 1841 entry with a wife Jane in Durham although dtr Elizabeth Jane was b 1840 Sunderland

EDIT

1851 - William was a grocer so that 1841 entry was him

Don't have a Worldwide Ancestry sub but he died 29.3.1900 and there is a Quaker published memorial on Ancestry for him.

Could be why you are having a problem finding his baptism if he was a Quaker

I know William also had a brother, John, born c 1812 in Sunderland

A tree on Ancestry has a John Grimshaw b 12.6.1811 Sunderland married to Emma Andrews in 1841

His parents are shown as William Grimshaw and Jane Wood.  John's baptism shows his father William as a grocer

John died 1856 & on the 1851 census he is also a grocer and his death reg shows him as a Quaker

If you click on document info it gives an RG ref, but no images and I don't have access to these elsewhere

Which may turn out to be the same record (some non conformist registers seem to have a particular church record and a sort of regional, combined one)

and ancestry have a database of Quaker records (with images) which looks more promising
William GRIMSHARE born 12 Nov 1812, Bishopwearmouth, parents William, a grocer and Jane
:-)
EDIT Grimshare is how its transcribed, the image in unclear as the end of the name has been cut off

That FS link is him.  Original entry shows father William as a grocer.  Transcribed as William Grineshaw on Ancestry
