If Thomas and Matilda gave the same address for the marriage and it's a boarding house you might need to consider the possibility that they just went to Belfast to get married and weren't living there a few months earlier.
I've been searching the 1911 census for the Barclay family (with and without surname) using all sorts of combinations but can't find any of them. Perhaps 1911 Scottish census will reveal the answer to where they were in 1911.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks, how would I go about getting info from the 1911 Scottish census?

You have to wait until it's released in 2011.

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.
