Hello , was there an 1911 census for Belfast ? Ideally showing occupants of 64 Conway St . Other than that am looking for the marriage of James Murphy born 1884 of that address possibly . He was severely wounded in WW1 so there might be a SWB
Regards
Alan

Hi Alan, yes there was a census in Belfast in 1911. Try this:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/)
You can search for Conway Street in Antrim and get results. A search for "James Murphy" and "Conway Street" drew a blank.

Hi Alan - do you know James got married - and if so, do you have all or part of her name and when they wed? Or are you unsure if he married?

1915 Patrick M'Dowell his wife and 4 children were living at 64 Conway St. Belfast.
Do you know when James was wounded?
-
He was severely wounded In march 1915 at neuve chapelle , then hospitalised in England regards Alan

On the Marriage Link posted there were 3 or 4 where Mary was Bride.
If you write their Surnames down you could try looking for child then by doing a few searches entering Mother's surname in box as per example

Hello , I have found his short attestation paper under army pensions . He was discharged on 4/7/1915 and unmarried , living with father James and brother John at Mansion Lodging House xxxxxxxx street , Belfast { I can't seem to make street name out ] So at least we now know he married from discharge date to date of death . His army number in the Royal Irish Rifles was 9040.

Alan

Ah Good, I don't have that one.

I am going through the army discharge papers and the date of the Mansion Lodging House, Matilda Street, address isn't clear. It could be from his attestation in 1908.
His address in July 1915 was 90 Conway Street. A later address is 97 Cupar Street.
-
Thank you , that would make sense in 1908 on his attestation paper

Might this be the marriage of James Murphy in 1915?
