The Grimshaws

Does anybody know anything about the 19th century Grimshaw family? I've found references to a Harry Grimshaw/Henry Grimshaw/William Grimshaw who died in a riding accident in 1866/1867, and to a James Grimshaw, but I can't find anything on the John Grimshaw who won the championship in 1864?

I have renamed the 1864 winner J Grimshaw, as can no reference to John Grimshaw anywhere. There was a James Grimshaw but he only won 114 from 351 mounts in 5 years - [1]. Champion could possibly be Harry Grimshaw - [2]
