Robert Gray, Belfast - Birth Look up please

[Snuggs]

I have never been able to find the birth of my grandfather known as Robert Alexander Gray, he was a baker by trade as you can see from the 1901 Census.  I wonder if any of the members have come across a Robert Gray born in Belfast c.1882/1883?  The 1901 census gives me the information for the family living at 46 Combermere St. Belfast, BY 1911, Robert Has married Isabella Holden and is living at Marlborough Avenue.

Robert's father William states his place of birth as Armagh on the 1901 census but on the 1911 census, now living at Northbrook Street he states Antrim. Which may or may not help.

Although I have been searching for this link for over 20 years, the closest I have got is finding a Robert Allen Gray, born 28 /4/1882 to William Gray and Elizabeth Boomer living at 38 Combermere St.  I would love to know for certain if this is my Robert Gray.

I do know that the people on the 1901 and 1911 Census are definitely my family but if anyone can solve this riddle I would be incredibly grateful.  Robert died on the 12 July 1930 at 84-86 Durham Street, Belfast.

Thank you for reading this.

Hi RosemaryJoan,

Thank you for looking this up for me, this is the one I found and I was hoping that someone could verify it for me.  I've been hoping I have the right one for a while now. When I looked up the details of this Robert on one of the pay sites, it records this birth as Robert Allen Gray, he was actually Robert Alexander Gray but this birth is the only one I could find.  Many thanks for your help, this is greatly appreciated!
