Not what I had in mind, sorryProbably, utterly wrong here: but one of that line's stations was North Grimston; and there's a character in Oliver Twist called Mr. Grimwig.
Good guess but not what I was thinking of, the connection isn't to do with any of Dickens storiesOld Oliver again -- the line's passenger service was locally nicknamed the "Malton Dodger"; and Oliver's mentor-and-partner-in-crime was of course the Artful "of that ilk".
No but there is a link to the line with another family memberI keep on trying -- his wife was born at one of the places with a station on the line concerned??
As per my post #14,786 ...No but there is a link to the line with another family member
