Antrim / Re: Hurrel / McCorley - Stoneyford / Derriaghy / Belfast

Many thanks for your replies Elwyn Soutter and BallyaltikilliganG.
Elwyn Soutter I took your advice and went to GRONI website. I found death entry for Annie McCorley 1925 (of Hardinge Street, Belfast) - her surname is MCCURLEY. Aged 71 so approximate year of birth is 1854. This age fits with her marriage age where I worked out approx YOB 1855. But I still have not been able to find a birth entry for her.
BallyaltikilliganG as for Annies husband Henry McCorley, on his death entry in 1921 it actually states "from Stoneyford". He is 77 years at time of death so approx YOB is 1844.
This is definitely them in the 1901 census:

BallyaltikilliganG you're right that all the female children are married by 1911 and I can find them there under their married names. The son Roderick was a solidier in WW1 and died in 1917 (he is down as Rachel (!) in the 1901 census and I can't find him in the 1911 census). [The only child I can't account for is James b. 1878 - he is not mentioned in the 1901 census with the family under the surname of McCouby. I can't find him in the 1911 census and I can't find a death or a marriage entry for him.]
I still can't find Annie in 1911 census - I'm wondering if Annie went into a workhouse? Her husband Henry is back in Derriaghy lodging in 1911 - perhaps working?

Regarding Henry McCorleys marriage to Annie Hurrel. They married in Lisburn Registrars Office in May 1877 - this is 7 months after their first child Florence is born. I suspect they had to marry in a registry office as they had a child out of wedlock?
The other thing I found was a Catholic baptism entry for Henry McCorley on 5 Jan 1843 in the Parish of Duneane, Co. Antrim (near Toome). I'm wondering is this my Henry? The parents are listed as Hugh and Margaret. I know from Henrys' marriage entry in 1877 his father as Hugh. There seems to quite a few McCorleys in the parish of Duneane / Drumaul.
I also found an 1851 census extract for the Parish of Duneane where the surname is Hurl or Hurrell

The father is listed as James (and I have James as Annies' father from her marriage entry), however the date does not fit as I have Annies approx YOB as 1854/1855.
I have also found a marriage in 1891 for a Hannah HURRELL x James Lavery in St Annes, Belfast. Henry and Annie McCORLEY are the witnesses. Hannah lists her father as James Hurrell, therefore I can infer that Hannah and Annie are sisters. However, I cannot find a birth entry for Hannah, approx YOB 1857.
Thanks for all your help so far! This research can certainly be challenging!
