Gail,
      I cannot help with your grandmother but these look like her parents.

14 Oct 1913  James Hobbs married Elizabeth Jane Brownlee in Albert Street Presbyterian Church in Shankill, Belfast.

Regards

Gail,
      A little more. The 1911 census is on line and there is a James Hobbs with a wife called Elizabeth and two earlier children. See   www.census.nationalarchives.ie.

Regards

Modification.   Oops, link does not work. Google 1911 census and select 1911 census Ireland.

Glad to hear you've been able to find the information you were looking for. You need to add the word COMPLETED to the subject line of your 1st post on the thread- will move this to completed lookups.

Now completed. Thanks

Hi Gail,

I believe that the Lily Brownlee (legal name Elizabeth Jane Brownlee) who was married to James Hobbs in 1913, was my grandfather Thomas Brownlee’s youngest sibling. Lily was the only sibling who did not emigrate to either Canada or the US.

Elizabeth Jane (Lily) Brownlee’s parents were Thomas Brownlee and Jane Grimason. Thomas and Jane had eight children:

Rachel
William
Thomas (my grandfather)
Mary
Margaret (Maggie)
Joseph
Susanna (Anna)
Elizabeth Jane (Lily)

If you would like more information, please let me know.

Welcome to RootsChat, Rhonda 

Is this your grandfather in the 1901 Irish census?
