Hi,
   Rather strangely I can find two marriages for Albert Robinson and Mary Tohill. The first is in St. Annes Church of Ireland in Shankill on 22 Nov 1910 and the second is in Belfast (urban 15) Roman Catholic Church on 20 Jul 1912. In both cases the fathers are listed as Joseph Robinson and James Tohill. Urban 15 is the area around Divis Street.

Regards
Stewart, Irwin, Morrison, Haslett, Murrell - Dungiven area Co. Londonderry
Browne, Barrett -Co.Armagh
Neil, Smyth _Co. Antrim

Wonder if the 1st marriage (1910) was invalid, or secret, for some reason and the couple openly married in 1912?

There's a Tohill family, Divis St. in 1911 but daughter Mary certainly not underage-

This makes sense as in the 1911 census Mary is living in Divis Street with her mum and sister but she is listed as being married for 1 year.  I will see if I can get the other marriage certificate - it seems strange if they married twice especially when both of them were listed as catholic yet one of the weddings was Church of Ireland.
