Not on my direct line, but very important because he wrote a will that provided me with a breakthrough on my Graham family research. Many thanks to Bridget for pointing me in his direction. The IGI, has several entries, mostly patron submissions, some of which contradict other postings, but nonetheless pointers for future research. I am now happy about the links between Grimston back to his parents Stephen Graham & Abigail Rea, and to his siblings Andrew, David, Richard, less so to Jane as I cannot find supporting evidence of a marriage to a Scaife in this generation, although Richard's will does also mention a Scaife nephew and niece.
I notice that there was a more modern Grimston Graham living in Longtown around 1957, so possibly there are living relatives to be found. Love to hear from any of them reading this who want to make contact with the distant NZ branch.10,3

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area.
