John Doak born 15 September 1927 had two sons David John and Colin Doak. He had four siblings Samuel, Cecil, Walter and Shirley. Samuel Doak lived at 20 Burren way and had two children John and Susan. Cecil had three sons, John, Mervyn and Alan. Walter had Linda and James. Shirley married Brian Sainsbury and had Christopher and a daughter. The father of these was John Doak b1900 and he lived at 6 Euston Parade, Belfast. He died in the Royal Victoria Hospital. The father of this John was Samuel Doak. Samuel b10 Dec 1875 was a plumber and he resided at 10 London road, 20 London Road, 92 My lady’s road and finally I have him at 55 Lomond Ave in 1918, all Belfast addresses. Samuel b1875 father was John Doak. He is listed as a Butler in Fivemiletown on his sons’ baptism certificate. John Doak married Eliza Graham on 12 March 1875 at the Parish Church Errigal Trough co Tyrone. One more generation back, the father on the marriage certificate is shown as Samuel Doak, farmer from Drumnadarragh, Errigal Trough, Co Tyrone. Research Continues.

BRILLIANT !!! THANK YOU all for your time & trouble,MUCH APPRECIATED.

It is also worth noting that John and Beatrice had son Samuel. Samuel was the informant on John's death certificate in 1968. Samuel's address is recorded as Burren Way. I've messaged you a copy of the details.

Samuel died 1969 - memorial recorded in the Belfast Telegraph 28 January 1970:

Aha! this notice confirms that John and Beatrice May had a daughter Shirley:

Belfast Telegraph 20 October 1941

DOAK- Cherished memories of my dear wife, and loving mother, who departed this life on 20th October 1940. Lovingly remembered by her Husband, Sons, and daughter (wee Shirley), also mother-in-law and family 6 Euston Parade.
--------------------------

So it seems that John moved in with his mother at 6 Euston Parade, around 1940 after his wife's death. I suspect that John and Beatrice were the parents of Walter, and Shirley

Samuel and Margaret's son, John Doak (born 20th May 1900) married 1921 Belfast to Beatrice May Hamilton and died in 1968- (burial listed on page 2).

(other posts in the paper for the same woman list the deceased as Eliza J Doak- widow of John Doak)

Cecil lived in Belfast.John (& Olive)had a post office in Liverpool.Now been told that the family lived in Euston Parade,Belfast.

Where did they all live though

Cecil had a son called Alan.

Found David & Colins marriages-1986 & 1996.Can't find a marriage of John to Olive(maybe they married in Ireland) ?
Can't find any info anywhere on either Cecil or Shirley.Apparently Cecil married & had 3 sons.

There's no Colin or David Doak born Lancashire? No marriage of John Doak to Olive in Lancs?

edited sorry typed in wrong name

Walter had two brothers-John & Cecil.John was married to Olive & they lived in the Liverpool area.They had sons-Colin & David.Walter also had a sister-Shirley.

Kelzi -
when you get the marriage cert, please let us know everything it says.

His age and father's name are of particular interest - but ANYTHING might be a clue!

Has the birth date (which is same as OP) been picked up from the death reg. posted by Malyon and ?? therefore presumed birth same RD?? Or just that the Death reg. confirms the birthdate in the OP, so the death must be him !

Shame I didn't see this yesterday, I was in Barrow and could have popped in to the library which has all the parish records including St Mary's Walney where they married in 1955.

This site is useful for researching BMD in the Barrow area:

http://www.cumbriabmd.org.uk/birthsearch.php

I confirms there is no birth for Doak of any christian name 1928-1930 so I've no idea where Malyon found that birth.

You can only access N.Ireland records within the time limits by going to GRONI in Belfast, they won't show up on line unless there is a christening record.
