This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information.

Photograph of an unknown couple
Probably GRIMSHAWs as item was donated to Rylstone and District Historical Society by Dennis GRIMSHAW.
Can you tell me please if this photo has been identified as the Grimshaws? The man looks very much like my great-great grandfather William Martin of Dungaree/Rylstone. Dee Smith.
Hi Dee, No this couple hasn't been formally identified yet. I believe the assumption that they are GRIMSHAWs simply because it was donated to the Cottage Museum collection by Dennis GRIMSHAW is a bit misleading. There are obviously many reasons why this could be persons with a surname other than GRIMSHAW! I have received your email separately and will respond to that as well. Thanks, Dan Hatton
Could the couple be George Alexander Grimshaw (b1873-d1941) & Florence Olive Gerrett (b1878-d1962?) married Rylstone District in 1901? The couple had 7 children.
