He could have returned to Ireland between 1911 and 1930.  Have you looked at all the Bernard Coll marriages on https://www.familysearch.org/  for this period

this is of course what he said if he told the truth

[pflanagan132]

Point taken,toni, but there is no record of a marriage for Bernard in Ireland.

I put Coll in the FreeBMD birth search box and 1911 -1930 as dates. This gives all Coll births and mother's maiden names. Now if I had time I could search for corresponding marriages - Brophy you have discounted, O'Donell, and Jordan in Halifax seem likely candidates but you might need to try more before you find a Coll marriage that matches with Bernard.

have you searched the BMD for the whole of Ireland ?

Hi Dave and Toni, O'Donnell and Jordan are accounted for, also a Bernard Coll married a McConnon in Ireland in 1923, wrong man. Have searched all of Ireland with no luck. Wondering now if he told the truth when he married in 1930 when he described himself as "widower". There would not seem any reason for that.
