Help with Henry Dobbin and Alice/Matilda Collins (married Belfast 1895)
« on: Tuesday 25 August 20 09:13 BST (UK) »
Hello - I have hit a little brick wall trying to find census records and any further birth/death records for the following marriage:  Henry Dobbin and Alice Collins (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1895/10541/5839751.pdf)

I have found one son Henry born in 1896 (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1896/02153/1816737.pdf)

I have also found son Henry's marriage to a Janet Black in Govan, Lanarkshire on 17th July 1922.  Both parties are living at 34 Listhouse Buildings, Govan, Glasgow.  Henry lists his father as Henry Dobbin, Confectionery Work Labourer and Matilda Dobbin (MS Collins) - mother is marked as deceased at this date.

I am struggling to find any census records for Henry and Alice/Matilda and son Henry.  Neither can I find any further children or any record of Alice/Matilda's death prior to 1922.

Any help or suggestions appreciated :)

Many thanks!

Spelling on the names varies
This looks like a daughter born 1900
Margaretta Dobbie to Henry and Alice Colins, Henry is a labourer on this.
