I'm trying to find Walter Grimshaw in the 1891and 1901 census. In 1881 he is there with his wife. In 1891, his wife is living as Head of family with 2 children and is still show as married. In 1901 Walter's wife if shown again as Head of family now with 4 children all with the surname Grimshaw. Where could Walter be? I can't seem to find him anywhere. He was born abt 1856 in Manchester. Thanks for your help. Nicola
