An unexpected twist.
Have been told by a cousin, and have been able to verify this, that her mother (my grandfather's daughter) was born in Bromley, Kent, England in 1924.
So, sometime after marrying in Belfast in 1919 my grandparents moved to England. After having at least one child they returned to Belfast, where my father was born in 1930.

Thanks Aghadowey. Found her there.
Looks like they returned to Belfast sometime between 1924 and 1930 as my father was born in Belfast in 1930, a sister Rose was born in 1931 or 32, and another sister Margaret was born there in 1934.
Shame there doesn't seem to be an Irish version of free bmd
