You say "some".  Does that mean you only want *some* to apply, but
that all the rest should?  Okay, here's how you do it:

1) take williamstanley.org and grumpygoblin.com out of control/locals
2) put them both into control/virtualdomains, e.g. like this:
    williamstanley.org:alias-ws
    grumpygoblin.com:alias-gg
3) create your aliases in ~alias, e.g.:
    echo '&infows@thor.williamstanley.org' >~alias/.qmail-ws-info
    echo '&infogg@thor.grumpygoblin.com' >~alias/.qmail-gg-info

4) then, if you want all non-unique usernames to appear in both
domains, do this:

    echo '|forward $DEFAULT@thor.williamstanley.org' >~alias/.qmail-ws-default
    echo '|forward $DEFAULT@thor.grumpygoblin.com' >~alias/.qmail-gg-default

So, for example, grez@williamstanley.org and grez@grumpygoblin.com
would both go to your account on thor even though
info@williamstanley.org would go to infows on thor and
info@grumpygoblin.com would go to infogg on thor.
