Did they stay in Belfast?
There is a newspaper snippet 08 May 1925 - Northern Whig, Belfast, Antrim
6th May, Mary , beloved wife of Arthur Barkley, Argyle Street - the same street as the marriage certificate.

Arthur Barkley of 59 Argyle St died 24.11.1972 aged 82. Buried in plot T1979 in Roselawn along with John Barkley died 1.8.1980 aged 51 and Caroline Laverty died 29.11.1979 aged 62.
Mary Barkley’s death aged 36 is on the GRONI site. In case you are unfamiliar with Irish records, the only place you will find statutory records for Northern Ireland after 1.1.1922 is on the GRONI site.

You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate.

I believe this is my great grandparents. Arthur and Mary.
Mary Jane Cranston's mother was Catherine Owise Kane. Father James. I have no more information on James other than he had his 2 daughters Mary jane and Margaret and died about age 25.

Morning. I still can't find any information on James Cranston. He died aged 25. Can't find his parents which would be a massive help. Also Catherine went on to marry George McCann but again no other information about when and where she is buried or parents any info would be a help. Thanks so much

For others, here's his death record. James, a factory worker, died at John Street, Portadown. The informant was his widow, Catherine.
