A pal of mine is interested in Septimus Mortimer HOLDEN and his father(?) Mortimer GRIMSHAW. Sep was editor/owner(?) of the Accrington Advertiser, Mort (1826-69) was a firebrand politician/orator who was called The Lancashire Thunderer. Anyone descended from them who might know why there was a surname variation or who knows anything about them?
