I have seen mistakes on wedding docs for father's name. It drove me crazy , I had one that said it was Samuel , so everyone had Samuel in their trees. I took the time , did the research and it was definitely John. A clerical mistake...

It said Thomas on William's death cert ...

There is for sure a Thomas Grimason who is a weaver near Portadown at the right time. But there is no candidate for an Archibald Grimison weaver anywhere.

Other then Sarah and Elizabeth whom I guessed were his siblings , I have not seen any list of brothers or sisters for William Grimason 1836-1918.  Have you seen any reference to siblings for William?

Stewart. Scott. Bruce. McPherson. McMurray. McKibbin . McKay. McCann. Mckrinkine. McClewnan. McCallum. Joss. Ross. Morrison. Chapman. Middlemiss. Robinson. Conlon. Duffy. Dalgarno. Crookshank. Gammack. Ramsay. Mutch. Crawford. Orr. Galbraith. Kerr. Fergusson. Campbell.

Thomas J. Grimmason County: Armagh, Parish: Drumcree, Location: Drumnakelly Page: 188
No. & Letters of reference to Map: 20, Immediate Lessors: Alexander D. Kelly

Thomas J Grimason of Drumnakelly I believe is the one related to Elizabeth Freeman and Sarah Grimason.

This Thomas James Grimason -weaver married as a minor in 1859

The Thomas we are looking for had a child marrying in 1856

Even the Thomas Grimason to Sarah Stewart wedding is later then the 1836 birth of William...

Alan, thank you for all the great tips.  My eyes have dried out trying to dig through them.  I will get back tomorrow again.
