Catherine Stevenson and Matthew Simm married in 1865 .
her father James..... his father Andrew... in 1866 they lived in Glengormley I assume with her father and stepmother Mary but by 1867 they are living in Collinward .
The trail goes cold I can not find them alive or dead anywhere.
There is a death in Canada but the dates are not correct
can anyone help please.

You haven't posted link to marriage certificate, mentioned Matthew's occupation, etc. The groom's name is SIM not Simm (Simm doesn't bring up the marriage on Irish Genealogy site)-

Another possible couple in Canada- but that Catherine too young-

I have the certificate so I would have no idea how to scan,(lookdown and no grandchildren to help) but what a fabulous site the irishgenealogy is.
I also have Janes Simm birth certificate but she was not named on it and they had a daughter Margaret born April 1867 under Simms.
I have followed Andrews family and spellings can be Sim Sims Simm Simms Sym Symm Symms Simn and now Sum.
So thank you again.....onwards
