I really should have read the previous page of this thread so I didn't waste my time repeating what has already been posted for you

As mentioned several times now, Daniel Ballentine married Agnes Ferris in 1878. The 1911 census says they had 12 children which is consistent with the birth registered to the couple-
Jane (10 Dec.1880), Agnes (20 Aug.1882), Robert (19 July 1884), William F. (21 June 1886), Mary (24 June 1888), Catherine (18 Aug.1890), Ellen (23 Apr.1893), Daniel (27 July 1895), Charles Ferris (21 Dec.1897), Jane (10 June 1900), Mary Eliza (11 Nov.1902), Rachel Annie (12 Jan.1905).
There is NO birth of a Thomas anyone born 24 Apr.1874 in Larne registration dist. You can check other years yourself on Irish Genealogy. If you haven't done so already it would be worth checking local churches for a baptism in case the father is named.
