1911 is no use for number of years married as Ann died 1902

You probably have this but Thomas was alive in 1907 when (Mary) Jane married.

According to 1901 census he was born c1862 and registration of births didn't start until 1864.

Better to post the link to transcription as one can click on link to images there but can't go back from the actual page. The transcription gives address, etc. which the image doesn't.

Is this Thomas’ death - an army pensioner with informant son, Thomas J?
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1910/05422/4515456.pdf

The address for Thomas J is ? Boundary Street.
1911 - North Boundary Street
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Court_Ward/North_Boundary_St_/147703/
Thomas J is not on household form just John and Susan unless Thomas/John are the same person.

I thought this wasn’t the family but there is a marriage for Mary Ellen -residence Nth Boundary Street albeit a different number

Civil registration of marriage should list name and occupation of father-

The polite thing to do would be to say 'thank you' to replies rather than just asking another question.
