MISCELLANEOUS_NOTES:
William Grimshaw was a great friend, and lived opposite. Emma, his sister, had married John Grimshaw who died early. When her brother's wife died, she came to live with him to look after the three young boys. He is remembered as a delicate man, humourous and observant. The shock of the collapse of a northern bank which wiped him out, left him an old man at thirty-eight. Perhaps it was this image that lingered in the mind of Frederick Binns, his brother-in-law as he suggests he was rather slovenly, like his father, and wonders what his sister could have seen in him.
