I have ancestors from the Middlesbrough area, who show Grange Town as a birth place. Did this just morph into Grangetown over time

Looks like it:

'In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Grangetown like this:

Grange Town, 2 miles from Southbank sta., North-Riding Yorkshire; P.O.'

That is one map in 1888, does not preclude it from different names over time.
