James death as you have above is registered on 4th January 1898
It is on Irish Genealogy

Search James Robb, year 1898 to 1898, and tick death

(Any problems finding it - I can link it for you)

Mary Ann is still alive in the 1911 census

I can't see any Mary Robb deaths in omagh on Irish Genealogy, but this only covers northern Ireland up to 1921

All records for Northern Ireland after 1921 are available on GRONI
https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

Searching GRONI a Mary Robb dies on 16 November 1931, aged 81, registered in Omagh
The full details (including an image of the register) are available for a small fee

PS - there will be no information on this family in the church section on irish genealogy as it doesn't yet cover Tyrone

Many thanks to Hallmark for your replies - very helpful.

I am delighted to see the copy of James and Mary Anne's Marriage on the Omagh Register and I have managed to find Joseph's Death registration as well but so far had no luck for James or Mary Anne with information on either the Civil or Church Records on the Irish Geneology I.E. site. 

I am very grateful for this information but still haven't tracked down a baptism or burial for James in the church records or his death in the Civil records unfortunately.

I haven't used the Irish Geneology I.E. site before so beginning to use it now for other ancestors in my family from Northern Ireland so thank you Hallmark for your advice as I can see it could prove very useful to me.

Yes it is excellent site and simple to use, finding the first one or two is.can be difficult but if one learns how to search they can return as and when needed and at their leisure...

Thank you very much for bothering to reply to my posts  - I am always grateful for any help and pointers in my research of my Irish relatives as I live in England.

I will have a look at www.cotyroneireland.com asap.

I can see I will have to visit Belfast, Omagh and Fintona to find out more.

James married Mary Ann(e) on 8th October 1878 so have you looked at Marriages in that era to see if you find any siblings marrying?

It is the type of thing you can do at leisure doing a search for 1870 to 1872 for example, then as and when it suits you work through the years, then even look for children from these Marriages etc etc.

That way you might even trace kin still in area

Thank You for more of your top tips Hallmark - I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day let alone days in the week to catch up on all of my Family History - lol - but hopefully will get there eventually even if over a long period of time.
