Who did William Reid marry?

[gfideek]

I'm looking for information about my Grandfather, William Reid, born 8/4/1897 in Belfast and died 17/8/1979 in the Moyle Hospital in Larne, Co Antrim.
He married Hannoria Gorman in Belfast on the 27 August 1921 but she died on the 21 January 1933.
William subsequently married a lady I only know as "Teeny". Sadly, I have no information about her at all other than to say she was alive when I was a youngster at home (I was born in 1947).
At some point "Teeny" died and William married a girl from Larne called Mary Ann (Molly) who died on the 13th May 1995 (no maiden name available). Molly was buried from Craigyhill Presbyterian Church in Larne. Any information would be appreciated.

Could Teeny have been a pet name for Christina?

Marriage of CHRISTINA DEANES and William Reid
on 11 August 1935

Group Registration ID   1382564
SR District/Reg Area   Dublin


Marriage of WILLIAM Reid and CHRISTINA Strong
on 21 April 1942

Group Registration ID   1388312
SR District/Reg Area   Ballina

No idea if either of these could be your William.  Not familiar with Ireland.

Northern Ireland civil records (births, marriages, deaths) only go up to 1921 for all-Ireland results which is probably why the 2 unlikely ones are posted above.

For 1922 and later you need to check GRONI's database but births less than 100 years old, marriages 75 years and deaths 50 years will not be available online there.

Searching for William Reid marriages 1933-1937 (4 year search restriction) shows 18 results for N.I.- with 5 in Belfast district including one 23 Mar.1935 to a Christina Magee. Others- 17 Apr.1933 bride Millar, 20 Nov.1935 bride Trainor, 20 May 1936 bride McAfee, 8 Sept.1937 bride Allen. Of course he could have married out of the Larne/Belfast area of after 1937.

Welcome to RootsChat 

At some point "Teeny" died and William married a girl from Larne called Mary Ann (Molly) who died on the 13th May 1995 (no maiden name available).

Following up on what aghadowey said above, for marriages after 'today's date' 1944 you will have to contact GRONI directly. Either by going to their search room in Belfast if you live in NI or the Republic or by communicating by telephone or e-mail.

There are also four GRONI computer terminals situated in PRONI, Belfast.

Could that Christina be wife number two?

Notice of Christina's death in the Belfast Telegraph, 9 September 1952.
Wife of William Reid.

Many thanks for all the replies to my query but jonw65 has hit the jackpot as I recognise the two addresses mentioned. Is it possible to view the Belfast Telegraph death notice online somewhere? (Sorry if I'm asking a silly question here but I'm new to this research game and still finding my way around!

1951 Belfast directory- Lanark St.: 45. Reid, William, moulder
http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/Lcomplete1951.htm

Was at same address in 1943 directory-
http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/Lcomplete1943.htm

However, in 1932 directory a William Magee is listed- perhaps connected to Christina Magee? which looks likely from 1911 census-
