Please see Aghadowey's reply on your previous thread re: availability of Northern Ireland birth registrations - only online to 1921

Could he have been born in Northern Ireland? N.I. counties only go up to 1921 in the index.

Have you found William Boyce on 1911 census yet? the 1911 Irish census is online (free) but we aren't allowed to do lookups for the 1911 English one here. If he was in Scotland- 1911 only available on Scotland's People site (pay per view)
