Can anyone please assist with a birthplace and the mother of (I cant find in PRONI) :

ROBERT JOHN MARTIN - 06/02/1881
Died 18/03/1936 Dublin

Robert was a 'motor driver from Portrush', his father was "Robert Martin' on his marriage certificate to Clara Jane Turner 30/06/1909 Magherafelt, Killelagh Church Of Ireland.

They left for NZ.

Many thanks  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Magherafelt is merely the district.

What is the father's occupation on the 1909 marriage certificate? names of both witnesses?

Is this the family?

Not this family

Dear Aghadowey,  PRONI has been my only source for the marriage certificate. PRONI doesn't have his birth, so I am thinking it was somewhere else, which I cannot find ??? ??? ???

So this is all that I have been able to find:
30/06/1909 marriage Robert John Martin to Clara Jane Turner.
Robert was a 'motor driver' and was living at Portsush at the time of the marriage
Clare Jane was a 'post mistress' and was living at Swatragh at the time of the marriage

Robert John Martin's father was Robert John Martin (labourer)
Clara Jane's father was William Turner (school teacher)

Witnesses are Robert Alexander Houston & William B Lurrat (I cannot read this writing)

 ;D ;D
