Would someone please do me a look up in the 1911 census for John McClure born Kirkcubrightshire Scotland in 1868 and living in 24, Newington Street Belfast in 1910.
Thank you

Civil registration index is online (also free) but only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties (including Antrim)-

Is there any way I can find more about the company itself?
-
Think you'd first have to find the name of the company which may be difficult if you can't get details in a directory.
-
Thank you once again all I can find appears to be the address of his home which is 24,Newington Sreet Duncairn Belfast Co. Antrim

I have recently discovered that John McClure died 11 February 1941 .
His address is given as "Carsluith" 23 , Stormount Park Belfast,
In his will he left his effects £10,373.9s.9d to his daughters Mary Elizabeth Rea , Maude Agnes McClure
and Albert Rea a civil servant.
I am now trying to find a marriage for Mary , and when she and Maude died and finally where John
might be buried . On 1911 census he gave his religion as "The Brethern",
Many thanks,
suzilad
ADDED -- I have just found John and his wife Matilda Ruth on a web site on this forum they are both
buried in Dundonald Cemetery Belfast.

Just came across the your last post on this thread. Regarding the Will Extract-
"McClure John Gordon of Carsluith 23 Stormont Park Belfast merchant died 11 February 1941 Probate Belfast 25 September to Mary Elizabeth Rea married woman Maude Agnew McClure spinster and Albert Rea civil servant. Effects £10373 9s. 9d."
- the names listed are not the beneficiaries but the people granted probate. You need to see the Will to see what bequests he made.
If the family were Brethern then they would most likely have been buried in either the local cemetery or an older family plot (Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or whatever). In this case it's a cemetery-
Dundonald Cemetery (D4 464) https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/
John Gordon Mcclure, age 72, 23 Stormont Park, died 11 Feb.1941 (buried 13 Feb.)
Matilda Ruth Mcclure, age 71, 23 Stormont Park, died 13 Jan.1932 (buried 15 Jan.).
Based on religion this is a possibility for Albert Rea's family-

Albert Rea & Mary McClure married 7 Sept.1922 Ards registration district.
