WalterJames Grimwood married Gertrude Olive Gardner
I have the birth and marriage certs for these two people but Walter was fostered out at birth. His birth mother was Eliza Grimwood and on his birth cert. she gives her address as 21 Court Street, Leamington.Her occupation is domestic servant. This Walter was my maternal grandfather. He was in the Boer War, also in Gibraltor, and Kyber,India. His occupation on his marriage cert. dated 31 may, 1911 states he was a postal letter carrier. He was living at 28 Court Street, Leamington when he married. On the 1891 census this address of 21 Court Street is that of a midwife. How do I go about finding more about his birth mother with such a common name as Eliza Grimwood. No fathers name on birth cert. but on marriage cert. his father is listed as Walter James Grimwood, deceased.This is all the info I could gather from his foster family, Louisa Baker Viccars's daughter who married Edwin (Ted ) Baskott. Is his military info available yet? Any help would be welcomed by suggestions. Barb J.
