Moving on to James bryson son of John Bryson of Ballywee; there are two main contenders for this James Bryson. They are:
1 James Brison of Ballybracken who married Ann McConnel of Ballyvoy on 19 Jan 1829 (1st Donegore)
2 James Brison of Holestone who married Martha Ann McConnell of Ballywee on 5 Jul 1831. "
The transcription of the tombstone #223 Kilbrde) erected by James Bryson of Holestone in the previous post also has the following after the death of the erector in 1832 "Likewise his granddaughter Lizziie Bryson who died 26 March 1858 aged 10 years and his grandson Thoas Bryson who died 26 Aug 1860 aged ?19 years" Both of these grandchildren belonged to parents James Bryson and Martha McConnell who are buried in plot #224. Both Lizzie and Thomas are listed again on the tombstone for plot 224. So James Bryson who married Martha McConnell was the son of James Bryson of Holestone.
Which leaves James bryson of Ballybracken as the main contender for the son of John Bryson of Ballywee, whose 1836 Will says that James was deceased but had surviving children.
Other deeds show that John Bryson of Ballywee had sold his Ballywee lease and purchased other leases in Ballybracken in the 1820s.
In the 1833 Tithes (online at PRONI) James Brison of McVickersland held two farms, one of 21 acres and the other of 42 acres.
James does not appear in the Griffiths valuations and Ann Bryson of Ballybracken, widow, nee McConnell married Malcom Barkely of Ballyclaverty on 3 May 1850
Ann Barkley died 1875 aged 71 and her death at Ballywoodock was registered by William Samuel Bell.
Mary Bryson of Ballyclaverty, daughter of James, married William Samuel Bell on 20 May 1858 at Parkgate
Robert Bryson of Ballyclaverty, son of James married Sarah Caldwell of Holestone on 13 Sep 1860 at Parkgate
Mary Bryson appears to have been born c1836/1837 so could well have been a posthumous child of James Bryson.
Robert was probably born c1830 so there is potential for another child born 1829 or possibly two others born between Robert and Mary.
