Previous thread relating to same family:
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1338511

Based on the previous thread,Thomas S Murray and Susan O'neill married in Coatbridge Lanarkshire in 1914.
Thomas then elisted for active service and was discharged in 1919.
Their daughter Catherine was born in Belfast 1920 but the family must have moved back to Scotland?
I know we asked this before, but can you tell us how old they were at time of marriage, and the names of both Thomas and Susan's parents who are listed on the 1914 marriage.


At 1911, the address of 190 Wilton Street doesn't seem to exist as the numbers only reach to 72
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Wood_Vale_Ward/Wilton_Street/
The street seems to continue simply as Wilton
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Wood_Vale_Ward/Wilton/

There are no Murrays or O'Neills in this street at 1911
