Hi Michael I don't know if this helps, but there is a Thomas and Jane McALLISTER who signed the 1912 Ulster Covenant at the same location in Glasgow, Scotland. They were the only McAllisters to sign in Scotland and both gave their home as being in N. Ireland. They may not necessarily be husband & wife (and parents of your Thomas) because they gave different addresses. It gives Thomas' address as "Larne Co Antrim" and Jane's as "81 Charlotte Street Belfast". On the other hand, could they have been in the process of moving, etc?

I am desperate to find Thomas in the 1901 census with father Thomas and mother Jane. They were Catholic, so would anyone have any idea as to which part they may have ended up at. When grandfather was born they were living in Elmfield St, Belfast, but I am wondering whether they could have been visiting Jane's, née MURPHY, parents in Newry in 1901. The family are unable to be found in 1901. Jane was originally from Newry, the daughter of Terence and Mary Anne, and would be about 33, Thomas the father age is unknown. Anyone any ideas please?
