Are there any family stories about John Maguire moving to Fermanagh/Cavan area? is he supposed to have died around 1959? Worth checking with descendants of other children in case they have different information that would help find the correct John Maguire.

Yes this John would be the correct age but his brother Robert had no middle name and lived 1881-1959.  He is buried in Our Lady's Acre Newtownabbey.  So it would appear not to be the correct John.
Thanks.

could this be Susan

married John Cameron Belfast 1894 her father Robert

Thanks for this great find dathai.  This Susan is the eldest sister of John Maguire.  She was married in Trinity Church Belfast 20th November 1894 at the age of about 21 years.  It is likely that the whole family moved from Coleraine to Belfast sometime before 1894.  Its likely this is where I will find John.
Thanks again.

Thanks again dathai. 
The Maguire family moved to Belfast sometime between Susan's brother Patrick’s birth in 1886 and Susan’s marriage in1894.
On the record of his wedding on 3rd July 1909 Robert (her brother), is recorded as living at 11 Milewater Street, Belfast which is close to Cosgrave Street.
Its likely that the whole family were living in and around this area but I am unable to find any census records, death or burial records for the rest of the family.

Births suggest that they were at 33 Cosgrave/Cosgrove Street in 1911

Thanks dathai,
This is Susan the eldest of Johns siblings living in Mountcolleyer Road in 1901 then Cosgrove street in 1911.
I have found what appears to be her brothers Patrick and John living in a boarding house 33.2 Henry Street (Dock Ward) in 1911.
I cannot find any record of John and the family on the 1901 census records.  Though they must have been somewhere in Belfast at that time. (Susan was married in Belfast in 1894)
It appears less and less likely that the John Maguire from Co Cavan is the correct one.
