Kirkpatrick and Kilpatrick are interchangeable in Ireland so you need to search under both spellings. (Robertson and Robinson are likewise interchangeable and you see some entries with one others a year or so later with the other).

The birth of Margaret Kirkpatrick was registered 31.7.1868. 51 Brookfield St, Belfast. Father Hugh a hackler, mother Eliza McCullough. You can view the birth cert free on this link:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie

Can’t see the parents marriage in Irish civil records. A sibling: Sarah Anna Kirkpatrick was born Belfast 2.11.1870.

Can’t see Ellen’s birth in Irish civil records, 1864 onwards.

Hi
Thx Elwyn and Rosie17 for all that great info,my problem not finding much was because I was using the spelling Rocks from the marriage cert.I do have the birth record for Sarah Anna and also for Ellen  22oct1855 Belfast ,using Rock I can see them on the 1901 census and also the 1911 one,i looks like Felix was on the Town Council as well as working at a gas station!                           
If I get this correctly it looks like Elizabeth Beagely, would be the granddaughter listed in the 1891S.P. census,she is recorded on the birth record on S.P.as Elizabeth Ellen Kirkpatrick (illegitimate)mother Margaret.Alice would be the first of the family to go to the USA in 1923 to see her,then Margaret age 58 and daughter Margaret age 22 in 1926 also to Eliz Beagley,then Felix in 1928 and Patrick in 1929,pls correct me if I am wrong.Not familiar with finding things in the US can you advise where to look for these types of records.Thanks once again for your help

Hi Huey yes I would say that is Margaret's daughter the family all went out to ..You could try www.family search.org which is free you should find them on the census records and immigration ..Also Ancestry or Find my Past ..had a quick look on SP for a marriage for Elizabeth but not seeing anything so far will have a look in Boston
