Finishing any help I can offer, Scotsmum has given you intriguing leads, following up the Ireland Diocesan And Prerogative Marriage Licence Bonds Indexes 1623-1866, an 1831 entry for a William Corner and Sarah Bell The original records were destroyed in the Public Record Office explosion of 1922 so its just the index. NAI state The original records were destroyed in the Public Record Office explosion of 1922, but indexes survive, and record Protestant marriages as far back as 1623. I don’t know if this means Presbyterian etc or not. The fact the C of I was involved would suggest to me that the Cof I records for kilclooney might have something.

KILCLOONEY, CO. ARMAGH
C.I. Kilcluney (Armagh diocese)
[Part of Mullaghbrack parish before 1794 – see also under MULLAGHBRACK]
Baptisms, 1832-; marriages, 1835-; burials, 1837-. so I looked at
C.I. Mullabrack (Armagh diocese)
[Earliest registers destroyed in Dublin i.e. baptisms, 1737-63 and 1813-75, marriages, 1737-63 and 1812- 45, and burials, 1737-60 and 1813-74]
the following is on microfilm Baptisms, 1764-83 and 1799-1811; marriages, 1767-83 and 1798-1811; deaths, 1732-62 (5 entries); vestry minutes, 1764-89 and 1826-1905; preachers’ books, 1842-74 and 1907-21; subscription book, 1901-22; Sunday School attendance book, 1917-32; notes on families in Mullaghbrack parish, 1847-51.
Extracts from baptisms, marriages and deaths relating to the Beck family, 1804-48.
Baptisms and burials, 1875-1935; marriages, 1845- 1935.
my summary suggests you don’t have the right surviving years for your baptism but you might pick the surnames in earlier burial records etc if by chance your relatives were buried in a Cof I graveyard. if you think possible contact Jaykim and see if he could look for you.
The Armagh museum is worth writing too.
I found your ref Schedule of tenants - FHL film 1279357. Parcel map PRONI ref T/1176/5. reproduced on line at
http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm its well written and a source I knew nothing about, I reproduce some extracts for others to evaluate the source
Ballylane Tithe Applotments [also spelt Ballylean]
No tithe applotment records survive for Ballylane. There were definitely some tithe-free townlands in the area around Ballylane, does anyone know whether Ballylane was tithe-free or whether the tithe records don't exist for some other reason? Fortunately, an even better alternative exists. (See the next section.)
Ballylane Survey by the Earl of Charlemont (1827)
In 1827, Francis William Caulfeild, 5th Viscount Charlemont and 2nd Earl of Charlemont, had a survey taken of many of his properties in County Armagh and Count Tyrone. For Ballylane, the result was a wonderful schedule of every tenant and subtenant in the townland, with a description and the area of each parcel. Each parcel was numbered, and there is a large matching numbered map of Ballylane showing precisely the boundaries of each tenant's parcel(s). The adjacent townlands of Ballymacnabb, Clady More and Clady Beg were surveyed at the same time, and others, as well. The schedule of tenants can be found on FHL film 1279357, but the map has to be gotten directly from PRONI where it is in found T/1176/5. There was also a survey of bog leases done at the same time. I have not included the several columns describing the pasture good bad or reclaimed bog etc and acreage
144 Thomas Blackstock Thomas Blackstock etce 5
145 Elizabeth Heron Andrew Heron etc 5
146, 147 William & Thomas Corner Thomas Corner etc 3
148 do William Corner etc 3 etc
Total in lease to William & Thomas Corner 6
149, 150 Francis Bell Francis Bell 4 etc
Total in lease to Francis Bell
152, 153 John Bell John Bell 6 etc
154 to 156 do do 1
Total in lease to John Bell etc
notes The numbers in the left-hand column correspond with the matching numbers on the Earl's survey map of Ballylane. The Area is given in English acres, roods and perches, where a rood = 40 perches and an acre = 4 roods. One English acre = 43,560 square feet.
to have such a map for ones family history is great.
good luck onwards
