This is the birth registration and the fathers occupation looks to be Bartender which matches the sons marriage cert of Publican.

Antrim / William James Wilson - bartender
« on: Saturday 18 July 20 18:27 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone
Years ago I ordered a marriage cert for William Wilson and Sarah Jane Whelan from somewhere (Emeraldancestors I think) and when the email came back to me they kindly said that in the parish register it actually gave both parents for the groom and the bride.
The grooms parents were William Wilson and Ann Rice and that the father was desceased and was a Publican by trade.
I could never find a marriage or any children (including William) for William and Ann. I know that this is not unusal and just assumed I would never get any further information on my direct line as is the curse for a lot of Irish folk.
Recently however I discovered that I also ordered another marriage cert from the same people for another Belfast direct line and the parents tey gave me (Once again in the parish register) was incorrect. The father was correct but they had mixed up the mother with the female witness (This marriage was located on Ancestry) so I was able to see this for myself.
The reason I mention all this is because recently I have found a birth for a William Wilson in the correct year (death cert gave me his age) with parents William James Wilson who was a Bartender and Mary Jane Purvis. This marriage unfortunately is not on Ancestry. The information of the birth is on Ancestry and the bartender occupation is from another tree of a relative that I believe she ordered.
The father William james Wilson (prviding it is the correct man) was desceased by the time William (his son) was married in 1885. There are a few deaths for William Wilson that may well match the age of the father on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ but I am wondering if there is a way I can order a copy of the death cert/photocopy but put down that his occupation must be bartender/publican so I don't have to buy numerous certs?
In England if you order a cert you can put down things that must match and if they don't they will email you and you only have to pay something like £4 instead of £11 for their trouble.
Sorry for rambling on.

That's the site I have been using and I couldn't find other children as I see the other two were born in Banbridge Co Down and not Armagh.
Possibily why I could not find the parents on the census either.

Yes that's another child. I didn't even think to check IGI. I have two children for them, David and Martha.

That could definitely be a possibility. I will search for a marriage between a James Cranston and a Bridget in Armagh and see if anything like that pops up.
Thank you. I thought it looked like a Mc but unsure.
