Judging by this birth cross referenced with the Civil register from 1877 till 1885 she seems to be the only one born around that time making her just 21 at time of marriage and 33/34 in 1911 if she is out by five years in age so could Robert's age be off as well.

There is a death in Lisburn for a Samuel Heron Jan March 1900 which might be her father seeing as he was alive in 1898

Hey everyone thanks so much..... Yes I'm aware of their grave in Lurgan......and yes that's samuels death in 1900.......Roberts birth could be out a few years so have been checking from 1869 and up.... But nothing so far matches

Jasiain well done, I looked up google and found the tombstone has been photographed see http://www.discovereverafter.com/uploads/graveyards/stcolemans_111/C597.JPG the tombstone also records their child William died 28th June 1892

Have you  inilove18 examined St Colmans records and the record for Williams death or burial?
Good luck onwards
