What was the details for John on the marriage certificate please?

Looking at your first post, it looks that he may have been involved the shipbuilding industry. What age was he and what was his father's name and occupation please?

Irish marriage certs do not give the mother's names on them

That 1911 census gives the family's address as House 19 in White Abbey.

The 1901 census for the same family show that they have a daughter, Lizzie aged 16 years living with them at Factory Street, Whitehouse.

I think that it is the correct family. So really your are looking the census for John and his wife Elizabeth (Lizzie) with their daughter Elizabeth as I think that that is their daughter Margaret visiting her grandparents in 1911.

John harrison b 1884 Co Armagh married Elizabeth Young in Co Antrim 27/6/1908 on the cert states husband townland/street and given as Clydebank Scotland, does that mean he was living in scotland at the time.
