This makes sense as in the 1911 census Mary is living in Divis Street with her mum and sister but she is listed as being married for 1 year.  I will see if I can get the other marriage certificate - it seems strange if they married twice especially when both of them were listed as catholic yet one of the weddings was Church of Ireland.

Marriage certificate came in for Mary and Albert - states his address as 55 Balkan Street and hers as 82 Divis Street.  States Albert is a labourer and Joseph is father and also a labourer.  No more information.  I am going to PRONI this week - is there anything you might suggest that I should look for - I am going to get the marriage certificate for Catherine Reid and Joseph Robinson but I don't think I could get death certs as I have no idea when they died or where.

I will get the marriage certificate for Albert and Mary and hope it throws a light on Joseph - they married in 1912 so that is after the 1911 census.
I am also looking for a brother of Mary (Tohill) who was called Peter and was born on 18th January 1878.  He is in the 1901 census but not in the 1911 census.  Through family sources I heard that he had been killed in a cart accident and died young so I think he died somewhere between 1901 and 1911.  The only Peter Tohill I can find died in the workhouse in 1903.  The cart involved in the accident was owned by a senior cleric so I am going to try trawling the newspapers of the day.  Tohill is a difficult name to research as it has numerous spellings - Tohall, Touchal,  Tochal, Tohil etc.

I thought when I put in the address in Waring Street it was an army building but the Salvation Army is very strange as Catherine was still living at their address in Balkan Street with their sons and a niece and grand niece.  They were in their 50s and 60s so it seems strange they would seperate at that point.  I can't find Albert - he was the one I initially tried to find but accessing army records is very difficult.  Thanks for the help.

I think the Joseph Robinson listed as a traveller is the same Joseph as he is listed as married as is Catherine in the 1911 census- I looked up the address in Waring St and it seems to be the headquarters for the Royal Irish Rifles so I take it he was joining the army at that point - but he would have been over 60 - would this be usual?

Also I didn't find Albert on the 1911 census but as he was my grandfather I know he existed - I think he might have joined the army but when he married in 1912 he was listed as a labourer.

Thanks for your help - it was Balkan Street not Raglan St.

My great grandmother Catherine Robinson lived at number 55 with her sons Thomas, Joseph and Albert.  They are listed there in the 1911 census but I am not sure when they moved out.

I am trying to find out some information on Albert Robinson born 23th November 1885 in Belfast and married 1912.  Albert is mentioned on my mum's birth certificate in 1917 as being a soldier in France.  He then seems to be untraceable.  I am his granddaughter and trying to trace a record of his death.  His father was Joseph who also appears to have been in the Royal Irish Rifles in 1911 and his mother was Catherine Reid.  Both parents were born in Londonderry.
