Hi,
   Think that I have first marriage. 14 Dec 1907 Thomas Stewart married Elizabeth Field in Trinity Church of Ireland, Shankill. Belfast. The fathers were Hugh Stewart and Alexander Field.

Looks like your Thomas & Elizabeth Stewart in 1911 census-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Wood_Vale_Ward/Wigton/157933

and Thomas' family in 1901- lots of possible lines of research here!
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Woodvale_Ward/Wigton_Street/1008121

Thomas' brother James in 1911- mother Rebecca is widowed but 12 children/8 living listed:

Hi,
   Using Aghadowey's information from the census it is possible that these are the parents' marriages.
14 Jun 1879 Hugh Stewart married Rebecca Shanks in Great Victoria Street Presbyterian Church, Shankill, Belfast. Fathers' names were Hugh Stewart and James Shanks.

4 Jan1876 Alexander Field married Elizabeth Waugh in St. Matthews Church of Ireland, Shankill Belfast. Fathers' names were William Field and John Waugh.
This seems to be the family in the 1901 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Shankhill/Tobergill_Street/950322/

All of this will have to be confirmed.

Hi, My husband Danny's grandfather was Thomas Henry Stewart born 1881 in Belfast. He was married to Elizabeth Field who was born in Dunbarton Scotland in 1885. They had 9 children of whom 3 died from scarlet fever along with their mother Elizabeth. We know Thomas went to Liverpool and married again, but we don't know who to. He died in 1950/51.
