hopefully this works !   if not go to PRoni wills calender and search for Patrick Boylan ,in Registry of Armagh. then click on the patrick in Lenelea  Co Armagh. this will show brief details ie died 15th jan 1919, then click on "image" to the right of the screen which will bring up 3 pages of his will.
you can read that his wife was Catherine and 7 sons are mentioned, James,Felix,Francis,Joseph (in San Francisco),Patrick ( in America),Thomas (in Belfast) and Edward.

i also found this web site useful  www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands.
 click on townlands  E to L  then on Lenelea which is in Mullaghbrack civil parish. there are details of what RC marriage and baptism records are available at NLI and at PRONI.

Daniel O'Toole who performed the marriage of Patrick Boylan was the priest in St. James's R.C. Church, Mullaghbrack.  See the link below
http://www.bygonesandbyways.com/mainmenu.htm
and then click on churches. 
Perhaps the current priest could help you with records.

 :D Once again many thanks for this excellent help. I have found the 1891 Census Scotland which reveals that Patrick Boylan & Catherine Gerraghty WERE born in Co. Antrim. Sooooo, they must have been in Mullabrack working, probably at the old quarry in Mullabrack Road. My mother remember family holidays much later to Warrenpoint as well. So we are looking for a John Boylan (a cooper)whose children are Patrick, Felix and Ann, in Antrim.

Here is a entry for two Boylans living in the Parish of Duneane , Co. Antrim in 1861-62

Boylan             John                 Brecart                     Duneane     Antrim
Boylan             Patrick              Ballymatoskerty             Duneane     Antrim

this is from Griffiths Valuation

I wonder if this could be father and son??
