Hi Sue,
It has been quite sometime since I was on Roots Chat hence a tad out of the loop.
From what I understand you have an interest in Samuel Grimason who was born in 1872 at Farnborough, Southampton, England and Lilly Johnson nee Mc Kinley.
I see you have been in contact with Janice so you may now be on the same page regarding the children that we know that these two had.
Namely;
 Samuel Grimason born 1907 and died 1907 in Haileybury, Nipissing, Ontario, Canada
John McKinley Grimason born 1908 in York, Yorkville, Ontario, Canada
As of to date no progress in finding any further information on John McKinley Grimason maybe you could have some information that may help in locating further information on him as he was not with his parents when they tried crossing into the USA in 1910 secondly he does not show up in the next census either so that leaves only two possibilities.
1. He died prior to 1910 and we have yet to locate the record of his death if it was recorded.
2. He was adopted out as his parents were not married at that time and Samuel was living in a bigamist relationship.
So I do not miss your reply could you please email me at grimason@one-name.org

Hi James,
Re Whitley Sprint.
I have reason to believe that Isabella Sprint whom married William Grimason may have been a sister of Whitley Sprint.
The reason i say this is a son of William Grimason and Isabella Grimason formally Sprint was named Thomas Whitley Grimason, he was born 16 Dec 1857 and Baptized 11 Mar 1858 at Ballyworkan, Armagh, Ireland.
I have been doing research on the GRIMASON / GRIMISON families since 1985 this is when I first learned that some of the GRIMASON's adopted the GRIMSHAW surname , started doing Genealogical research in 1984.
I have ample proof of the GRIMSHAW surname adoption and a probated will can not be refuted that shows this.
William Grimason and Isabella Grimason formally Sprint went to USA, there are descendants living in Pennsylvania today under the Grimison surname variant.
Due to recent DNA results it would appear that the Pennsylvania Grimison family is related to the Grimison family of New South Wales, Australia.

Hi Jorose,
Re the Ellen GRIMERSON posting you will finder her in the 1901 Census of England.
Her Father was Samuel GRIMASON and she was born 23 April 1872 at Gibraltar.
Her mother was Maria, have not yet found out what her Maiden name was though or when Samuel and Maria Married or where.


The GRIMERSON spelling is a variant of the GRIMASON surname along with GRIMISON and GRIMESON all part and parcel of my One Name Study which is registered with the Guild Of One Name Studies.

Hi Owairoa,
You mentioned the following surnames GRIMASON / GRIMISON, PRESTON, SPRINT and WOODHOUSE.
I would like to point out connections to the GRIMASON surname that you may not be aware of.
The SPRINT and WOODHOUSE connections are in County Armagh, Ireland.
 William GRIMASON married an Ann WOODHOUSE on the 13 January 1847 at Drumcree, Armagh, Ireland.

 William GRIMASON /GRIMISON married Isabella SPRINT on the 17 October 1856 at Kilmore, Armagh, Ireland.

Mary GRIMASON married Andrew PRESTON on 2 November 1910 at Belfast, Antrim, Ireland.

So as you can see there is now more than one connection between the surnames you mentioned.
You also now have some locations to work with as well.

The GRIMASON surname is a registered Guild Of One Names Study which I registered.

Hi Janice,
Re John McKinley Johnston who died 18 Jan 1931 aged 40 years giving a birth year of 1891 with the mother of Liliy McKinley.
I suspect that the age given is incorrect as I have a birth for;
John McKinley Grimason born 30 Aug 1908 at York, Toronto, Canada, I suspect this is the same person.
The only way I know of to confirm what I suspect is to DNA test any male descendant of John McKinley Johnston against any other known Johnston Male relative.
The other thing to look at is to see if there is indeed a John McKinley Johnston born in 1891 based on the supposed age at death.
Also any will that may have been probated, unfortunately these are not yet online if there is one.
The other thing to look for is his marriage as that may paint another story, it would appear that he did not marry in Scotland under John McKinley Johnston and the same goes for Canada.
Based on his Death Certificate it would appear that he married Annabella Campbell WILSON.
