Lookup for Robert Nelson please

[Gandalf001]

Hi all
I am trying to find more background on my g grandfather Robert Nelson b 1845/6 possibly in Belfast.  His father was James Nelson, a painter.

On Robert's marriage certificate for 1865 he married Susannah Broughton in Liverpool.  By this time he was a stonemason.  I don't know when he left Ireland for Liverpool. But he subsequently left Liverpool for the US.

I know its a longshot but based on these few early facts of his life but can anyone help?
thanks

The advice I gave for finding Margaret Nelson applies here as well. If he died in U.S. there might be details of parents on death certificate depending on when and where he died.

Thanks for reply
He died at his sisters house in Indiana - I have lots of personal stuff from that time but it all seems to refer to his sister Margaret Ponti (nee Nelson) and her husband Gaetano Ponti.  I doubt official birth cert would give his original home details
thanks anyway.

Noty sure what information was included on Indiana death certificates when he died but there's a chance it will list things like names of both parents, birthplace and date. Death certificate may have been filed with state or county depending on the year of death,
