There's also a E. Caproni confectioner living at 235 Duncairn Garden North Belfast 1907

My husband (who was lived in Bangor) says that the Capronis in Bangor also sold ice cream. There is this family in the 1901 census in Stranraer, Scotland:

Stranraer is the main port for ferries between Scotland and Northern Ireland.

I wonder if Helena could be the Nelly on the 1911 irish census?

There are only two births in 1899 and 1900 in Scotland for Caproni and they are for the two girls in the census.

On the 1911 one of the daughter's born Scotland is Mabel, aged 6. Scotlandspeople has a birth for a Mabel Caproni, b Stranraer in 1905.

Mabel's birth cert will give you her parents' names and when and where they married. You can download the cert from this site:
