The latest available Irish is 1911. There's only 1 person with the surname GYLE in Carrickfergus area-

she's on her own in 1901-

Only possible match for John I see in 1911 is a Jack Gyle age 11 but he and father both born in Belfast-

and the family in 1901-

What you need to do is get the marriage certificate (if you don't already have it)- should show fathers' names and occupations (at least in his case although hopefully hers as well).

I did a free search in Emerald Ancestors database and found 1 marriage for a John Gyle 1921 Co. Antrim to Mabel ? .
Unfortunately when I checked and cross-referenced the civil registration index I got the following-
John GYLE Apr./June 1921 Belfast registration district volume 1 page 339
Mabel McCOY same page.
