You have done well with got  early records, I looked around to see if I could get any other lines of searching.
I looked again at griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv and found ‘Cecily’ Johnston at no 5 Anne Street. Then I tried searching for Merron and found entries only under ‘Meron’.
Mary Anne Meron had a landlord Thomas both in same townland.
Familysearch.com was disappointing for Co Down ‘Merron etc’
I went back to Ros Davies website looking for church records that exist, she lists
Ballyphilip Church of Ireland in Portaferry erected in 1787. records from 1745; old graveyard nearby; gravestone inscriptions available UHF Vol 13; email me Ros Davies for a gravestone look-up
Portaferry Presbyterian Church in the north east of the town. The original meeting house was erected in 1694 and was rebuilt in 1751. Records from 1699; no graveyard
