Boomer Family

Looking for any information on the following BOOMER relatives.
The information I have is that David Daniel Boomer was born in Belfast-after the 1911 census, and the family lived at 43, Jennymount Street Belfast until they came to settle in Barrow in-Furness-some time after the 1911 census.. Davids father was James, known as Jamesie and his wife was Minnie. James was a Protestant and Minnie a Catholic and I think that is why they came to England to settle as things were difficult for them in Northern Ireland.I'd like any info on the marriage details,(I cannot find them marrying in Barrow-in-Furness) They came to Barrow-in-Furness, and, as far as I am aware, always lived at number 11 Provincial Street .Davids younger brother was Richard and he emigrated to Calgary Canada in the 1950s . James lived at 11 Provincial Street and his wife,prior to marriage, lived at 52 Provincial Street (maiden name TREVAIL) .I think they lived there after their marriage in 1942,later moving to Ormsgill area,c1947? They did have a daughter-Kathleen born 1943 They moved to Kent in the 1950s.
ANY INFO,particularly the marriage of James and Minnie,or prior to 1901 much appreciated.
THANK YOU.

I'm a little confused. You said,

"James lived at 11 Provincial Street and his wife, prior to marriage, lived at 52 Provincial Street (maiden name TREVAIL) ."

Do you mean David lived at 11 Provincial Street?

Neither of the two marriages suggested by Kay was to a Minnie - unless Minnie wasn't her "official" name:

The second one was after David's birth, so unlikely in any case:

Is it possible they didn't marry, because of the religious difficulties ?

For info Paul, the findagrave memorials in Calgary in question (showing all Boomers in the same cemetery; the two of the older generation presumably not related):

https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSln=Boomer&GSiman=1&GScid=639344&

Muriel Boomer 1942-1965 is buried in the same plot as Moyra and Richard so would be their daughter.

The name is not common so there is a good chance that Boomers currently in Calgary would be related, if they had other children:
