Mt Grimble is mentioned in A H Potts's diary entry for 12 Dec 1941, when Potts had moved to Shouson Hill:

I slept at Eric Grimble’s bungalow, a charming little place near the top of the hill overlooking Deepwater Bay and Aberdeen.

The exact address is given in the 1941 Jurors List:

c   Grimble, Eric George Norton Merchant, Grimble & Co. 37 Shouson Hill Road.

The DoB comes from John Black's list, which gives Mr Grimble's occupation in 1941 as "Ship Broker".
