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).

Belfast Telegraph 18 January 1968

DOAK- January 17 at hospital. John beloved husband of the late Beatrice May Doak, 6 Euston Parade. Funeral from Browns Funeral Parlour 292 Newtownards Road tomorrow (Friday) following Service at 2.45pm to City Cemetery- Deeply regretted by his sorrowing sons, daughter and family circle. At rest
---------------------------

Beatrice died in 1940 at the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast:-

Belfast Telegraph 21 October 1940

DOAK- October 20, 1940 at hospital, BEATRICE MAY, dearly beloved wife of John Doak, 70 Westbourne Street. Funeral from her mother's residence, 34 Reid Street tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2 o'clock at Killinchy.
Deeply regretted by her sorrowing husband, Sons and little daughter: Also Father, Mother, brothers and sisters.

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

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:

DOAK- In Loving Memory of my dear Husband, Samuel, died 28th January 1969 Ever rembered by his loving Wife Ellen, Son John, Daughter Susan. 20 Burren Way, Peace, Perfect Peace

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.
