Hi

Balleymoney is in County Antrim according to a Google search

Re: parents.  Have you looked for him on the 1911 Irish census which is free at

www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search

A possibilty is this entry

...

Ballymoney is the name of a town in County Antrim but there are also townlands of the same name in quite a few counties- Antrim, Donegal, Down, Londonderry & Wicklow.

The link that Carole posted from 1911 census is for Belfast (not the town of Ballymoney which is also in County Antrim)-

Joyce- father's name and occupation should be listed on his marriage certificate which will help to confirm 1911 census entry.

There were nine birth registrations for Thomas Henry Wilson 1906-1914 in Ireland, also a Thomas Henry John Wilson (1911 Dublin).

The one found in 1911 census (son of Mathew) was Thomas Henry Wilson Apr./June 1910 Belfast volume 1 page 97.
Others around that date were Oct./Dec.1910 Newtownards 1/687, Jan./Mar.1909 Newtownards 1/779, Apr./June 1909 Armagh 1/35, Apr./JUne 1911 Lurgan 1/661.

To make the search more difficult he could have been registered as Thomas (no middle name), male (name not chosen) or even Henry.

Without the name of his father or any other clues it's difficult to find the correct family.
