Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I checked for marriage records in Co. Armagh for Thomas and Jane but did not find a record. There was a marriage record in Belfast on April 2, 1907 between a Thomas Johnston and a Maria Jane Anderson. The father for Maria Jane was George and the father for Thomas was Samuel. Could this be the marriage record? I will check later for census records.

I just wonder if it same Jane as the first one is Maria Jane was it common for them to drop the first name or was Maria a middle name ....but this could be the same person.....as my father was born in Belfast and the dates match is birth date and those of his brother...I want to thank you for your help I am very new to this genealogy tracking and both my parents are deceased and my uncle and his wife so it is very hard .....
Barbara:
Maria was the first name. Possibly she was baptized Maria Jane but used Jane. However, for a civil record, she used her official name.

I don't know how to copy the link but I found in the 1901 census I followed your link a George Anderson with a Maria Jane who was 13 and had some brothers and sisters ..Florence Etc..and George was married to a Eliza Jane....could this be my Maria Jane when she was 13 it fits the age group.......they lived in a house 9 on Ashbourne street Antrim but says birthplace Armagh.....George was a railway official .....
