Her obituary appeared in the 29th March 1941
edition of the British Medical Journal (p496).  
"We regret to record the death of Dr. Hilda
Beatrice Grinyer.  She studied at the London
School of Medicine for Women, taking diplomas of
M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P in December 1938.   In
February 1940 she was appointed house surgeon at
the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, where she
worked most assiduously until her untimely
deathduring an air raid on Manchester.  It was her
custom during the "alert" periods to help in the
carrying of children down to the shelter and to
assist the patients in every way."
