CRAWFORD-GRISSAM 1902 marriage?

[aghadowey]

According to LDS submissions:
King Crawford married Margaret King. Their son King Crawford (born 1836 died 1911) married 1871 Elizabeth Leeper.

It is possible that several people submitted information on King Crawford- such duplicatios (and often conflicting information) is quite common on LDS site.

My details were from actual church records.

The Sarah Jane Grissam born in 1871 and daughter of Langford and Matilda was married to Charles Boyd in 2nd Kilrea Presbyterian in 1901.  I also have Sarah  born 1873 in Aghadowey, the daughter of Richard and Nancy (Young), who married Robert McFadden in Aghadowey Church of Ireland in 1891.  The third Sarah of the same generation is where I'm confused.

Sarah Grissam that married king Crawford 1902 must have been born late 1870s early 1880s because her last child was born 1921. her other children were called william, Martha, Hugh, Fred, louise and Hetty, thought we could get a clue from the names but still came up with nothing, but will keep on trying.

The names Martha and Hugh are found in the Ballygawley (Aghadowey) Grissam family rather than the Ballynacally family to which Langford and Richard belong.  I have not been able to connect up these 2 branches, although as the only Grissams in Co Londonderry in 1831 and in Griffith they must surely be related.  William Grissam who married Nancy Duff in Ballymena was of the Ballygawley branch (his father was Hugh) - could they have had a daughter Sarah born in Scotland?

John Grissam (d.16 Mar.1844), Ballygawley, m. Malshy and had children: John, Archibald, Ann, Martha (d.1868), Hugh.

Hugh Grissam m. Ann Taylor and had: John (c1822-1894 Scotland) and probably William (d.8 Oct.1894), Ballygawley.

Have re-checked my notes and Archibald d.1871 is probably another son of Hugh & Ann.

From what I understand Archibald (d. 1871) was a brother  (not uncle) of William of Ballygawley who married Nancy Duff and John of Partick who married Eliza Ann Finlay.  I had wondered if their grandfather John had been the John Grissam who married Margaret Woodburn in 1st Garvagh Presbyterian in 1799 and an interested in the source of the name Malshy.
