This is driving me mad so I hope someone can help...
Emily Dyer, born 1855 Belfast. Parents John Dyer and Eliza Taylor.
This may be her marrying Samuel McCartney 26 December 1874 in Belfast but I'm not 100% sure - age is about right, father's name is right and he would still have been alive at this time, he was an emigration agent but here recorded as commission agent so there or thereabouts. But no Dyer witnesses to help confirm, plus it is an RC marriage, her family were Protestant and she is marrying from an unfamiliar address (Silverstream is about 7miles from Belfast centre.)

Whatever - insofar as I know this couple had one child, Bernard McCartney in 1880. Just to thwart me even further - different DOBs, variant father's surname (cue wildcard nightmare!)and mother's first names on civil birth reg and Catholic baptism, but both have birth address of 37 McDonnell Street so I'm pretty confident he is a child of Emily and Samuel.
Civil birth - https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy....65/2049739.pdf
Catholic baptism -
However, after this 1880 birth, I can't find any census, death or emigration records that seem to fit. This applies even if my Emily Dyer did not marry Samuel McCartney and went through life as Emily Dyer.
To save unnecessary searching - she is definitely not the Emily Dyer in 1901 and 1911 Cork censuses who dies in Cork 1918.
Nor do I think the Samuel McCartney who dies in Comber (Newtownards district) in 1913 is the right Samuel MCartney either, despite the fact that he has a wife called Emily (from associated will calendar) I think it is more likely that he is the Samuel MCartney from Comber who married Emily Gourlay in 1880 in Belfast. Not that I have found them in 1901 or 1911 censuses either which might help to confirm!
Can anyone find any trace of any of them after 1880?
Thanks,
Christine
