The 1911 census tells you they were married 7 years, so around 1903/4. However I can’t find the marriage either. Mary Allen’s maiden name was Stafford. Here’s the birth of Andrew which gives her maiden surname:

This might be Mary in the 1901 census:

Just turn up in England and get a job. No passport required. Identification would be possibly needed(Birth certificate, possibly), but I doubt you will never know when arrived.

The most common reason for folk going to England was to get work, so they often went when they reached working age. If born in 1914, he might have gone to England any time between 1930 and 1939.

There was a census in Ireland in 1926 which should be released to the public in 2026, so that will tell you if he was still in Ireland then. Likely he was, I’d say.
