CRAWFORD-GRISSAM 1902 marriage?

[akanex2]

I am interested in finding out who the parents of Sarah Grissam (m. King Crawford 1902) were.  In 1831 census only 3 Grissam households appear in Aghadowey parish, all of whom I have traced forward.  All three Sarah Grissams of the right age who appear in my tree married other people so I'm at a loss as to where she fits in.  Has anyone seen her marriage certificate?

I too am researching the same family, King Crawford and Sarah Grissam were my great grandparents. I have the same problem as you dont know where she fits in, but have got a bit further on the crawford side.

Hi.
   I found the following

Sarah Jane Grissam born 19 Aug 1871 in Aghadowey (where have I come across that name before?!!)   Father was Langford Grissam and mother was Matilita (sic) Cochrain (sic).
       I have also unearthed some information on King Crawford but I am not sure of its veracity. i.e. I have children of King Crawford and Margaret King born in 1836, 1871 and 1911. A remarkable age to be childbearing or a remarkable coincidence!!

More than one King Crawford which accounts for the range of baptismal dates. There were several Sarah Grissams in the area as well.

Aghadowey,
                  I also assume that there was more than one Margaret King! The coincidence to me appears to be recurring marriages of King Crawfords to Margaret Kings: or am I missing something?

King Crawford & ? (possibly named Eliza) had children born c1827, 1829, 1835, 1839, 1842.
King Crawford (widower) m.1846 Eliza King.

King Crawford m.1902 Sarah Grissam.

Also:
James Crawford, son of King Crawford, m.1852 Catherine King
Eliza Jane Crawford, dau. of James, m.1874 John King

Think there might be other Crawford-King marriages but can't recall a Margaret King married to a King Crawford. Do you have any more details? date? church?

aghadowey,
                  I used the IGI website to look for a King Crawford and found one born 13 Sept 1836 in Coleraine. No church listed . Parents are listed as King Crawford and Magaret King. I then did a parent search. I think that it was you or possibly Christopher or Maryderry who explained to me how to do it. I found three King Crawfords born to people of this name between 1836 and 1911. I think that I have already explained this in an an earlier mail!!

Hada a look at LDS site and think I understand the problem.
The records for King Crawford are submitted. According to the submissions King Crawford, son of a King Crawford and Margaret King, was born 13 Sept.1836 Colraine, died 16 Jan.1911 Broomfield, Boulder, Colorado and married Elizabeth Leeper on 13 Sept.1871 Marion, Marion, Ohio. The records (1836, 1871, 1911) all refer to the same King Crawford not to different King Crawfords.

Aghadowey,
                  I am definately missing something. I am aware of the reliability or otherwise of  the IGI site but to refer to the same man over that length of time. Does this imply that he married three different women all with the same name. When I first saw the names I did not believe it and I still don't. I think someone has made a mistake. It could be me but I cannot see where.
