Can you help to find the parents of Henry Grimstead, born Wisbech, Cambs around 1821? He's my gggrandfather.
Living single in Boston as a mail coach driver 1851. He married Harriet Gresham, born Fishtoft around 1834, in early 1850s. They had one living son, George Henry Grimstead born 1854 in Wisbech, who was brought up by his wife's adoptive parents , the Gaunts, in Keal, Lincs (1861 census). Henry appears with Harriet in Holbeach in each census until they both died around 1909. They may have had another son there who died. He remained a mail carrier/postal worker for all that time.
None of the appropriate families in Wisbech in 1820s seem to be his, i.e. no son Henry.
