Annie Maria Grimson 1870-1949 and her musical family

[giles.enders]

Annie Maria Grimson Born Pimlico, London 4.9.1870  Died London 9.10.1949

A rather unusual posting, as some while ago on this forum Annie was listed as having composed a symphony.  I have been unable to trace it but she aroused my interest as there were few symphonies by women from that time. 
Her family are particularly interesting:

Her father was;
Samuel Dean Grimson  1842-7.4.1922  He and his wife had eight children, seven of whom were musicians and some composed.  Samuel D. was a violinist and viola player and was prominent in the London orchestra and chamber music scene between 1870-90.  He also wrote a 'First book for violin.  After the death of his first wife he married a woman who was younger than his children.

Annie Maria Grimson was the eldest of the eight.  She was initially taught by her father and subsequently attended The Royal College of Music and later studied piano under Tobias Matthay. She was principally a pianist but also composed.  In the summer of 1912 she married Joseph Haywallis a retired architect aged 78, he died the following Spring.  She was considerably younger than his children.  She later went to live with her stepmother and sister Amy.

I suspect there are many more compositions by some members of the the family.  Perhaps members may know more.
