I am looking for my Great Great Uncle:
William George Brown
Born: 13th January 1885
Birth Location: 31 Norwood Street, Belfast
His parents were Mary Ann Duncan and George Brown
1901: He was living with his grandparents and Aunts in 20 Coolderry Street, Belfast per the Census.
After this I am unsure what happened to him. Is anyone able to find out?

Have a look at your subject header birthdate & your post birthdate. Same issue as on your other post here
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=856091.msg7244464#msg7244464
Have you checked the English/Irish 1911 censuses
-
Sorry 13th January 1885 Correct.
Birth located here:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1885/02661/1981029.pdf
I have tried to locate him. But could only find him in the 1901 census.
-
Still stuck with this search.
I know on his parents census record in 1911 it says 6 children born, 6 alive. So he is alive in 1911 but location unknown. Would love to know what happened to him.
-
Could this be him in 1911?

So is this the 1911 census you refer to?

There are several deaths on irish Genealogy and this one is for a William Brown married, soldier who dies of heart disease near Belfast Hospital on 15/2/1918
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1918/05197/4435855.pdf
And this, along with several others who died of gunshot wounds following a riot on 9/8/1921
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1921/05092/4398166.pdf
and this, reported by his sister.....did he have a siste Eliza Jane?

Actually you could do your own searching on here
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/
for possible marriages, births of children and deaths as you will know the family better than we do as far as names for children etc.
If William married he may have named his children after family memebers in line with irish naming patterns.
Sorry the shrink link does not seem to be working

Hey no sister called Eliza Jane. Also seen the records for the soldier and details don't match up. But thanks. Yes I'll have to go through all marriage records after 1911 to see if I can find him anywhere on island of Ireland getting married.

There is a marriage in 1911 of William George Browne, his father George is a gardener.
Different address from the census but he could have changed jobs.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1911/09949/5617067.pdf
And he signed without the e on Brown.

Early children to this couple included Eileen Charlotte in 1913 (married John Charles Maxwell in 1944), Violet in 1915 (died 6 weeks after birth) and William George in 1918, whose birth registration showed their address as 3 St. Joseph's Terrace, (Upper) Wellington Street ...
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1918/01273/1527768.pdf
... which turned out to be the same address these folk were still at nearly 40 years later when Charlotte died, so a long time there:

I also wondered about this death of a William George Brown at '3 Wellington Street' in 1959:
