It will not be crucial, but I think that you should check the number.  I don't think Charles Street South was big enough to have 2072 as a number.


I think it might have meant to say 20 1/2, the 1932 Belfast street directory shows the following for Charles Street South:

20½. Lytle, Alex., labourer

elizabeth lyttle married aged 50
husband alexander lyttle a labourer


Just a possibility for this couple are Alexander Lyttle and Elizabeth Brennan, who got married in Agnes Street Methodist Church Belfast on Christmas Eve 1921, his father was Alexander Lyttle, hers was James Brennan, GRONI online has the civil record.

This is possibly Elizabeth (based on age & name) in 1911 census but she was a widow so her father wasn't Brennan (many online databases just list father's first name so people assume that his surname is the same as the bride's surname)- in this case looks like Kearns is perhaps her maiden name: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Falls/Falls_Road/173224

Hi,
   Following up on Aghadowey's point a Hugh Brennon married Elizabeth Kearns on 20 Jun 1886 in Belfast Urban6 (Divis Street and Falls Road area) Roman Catholic Church. The fathers' names were James Brennan and Patrick Kearns.

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

There's a Hugh Brennan here in 1901 with son Walter which looks promising- wife Lizzie's age mis-transcribed as 52 but scanned image says 32:

Son Walter Brennan in 1911 with family:

Of course, the 1925 marriage certificate is probably needed to see if Elizabeth was widowed or single.
