Think i've been barking up the wrong tree with this one! Just got hold of William and Isabella's m cert. They were married in Belfast in 1893. His father is named as John Barclay, a mason. Her father is William Morton, also a mason. The witnesses were Andrew Given and Harriett Blair.

Hi, the witnesses were Maggie Benson and James Foulis or Fowlis. On the m cert both Thomas and Matilda are living at 121 Sandy Row. There appears to be no connection to the family at this address though, may have been a boarding house of some kind? Isabella and William were both born in Scotland according to the 1901 census, they seem to have disappeared after that, even the son John. A* has army records for a John Barclay of the same age but not sure if it is the same one.

Hi, Isabella's maiden name was Morton, as shown on her daughter's birth cert. The family is present on 1901 Irish census (her, 24, husband William, 30 daughter Matilda, 6 and son John, 2). On the 1911 Irish census I can find no trace of them at all.

Any info on William Barclay who married Isabella Morton in Fife, settled later in Belfast. Had children Matilda and John. Also John Morton and Janet Grieve who married in Perth 1862? Thanks all.

Hi all, info needed on my great grandfather Edward Lister b. 1881 in either France or Middlesex (?). He joined up very young, at 14, and was listed as a musician/bandsman. Any info greatly appreciated, thanks.
