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.

if you haven'y done so already,have a read at the will of Patrick Boyland and one for Felix Boyland of Lenelea Armagh, as they contain many of the names you mention and there are references to sons in USA , San Francisco.  PRONI wills.

on the 1911 census  this mary ann McQuade  ( maiden name Boylin) is now 63yrs, a widow living with her son James age    36yrs and a 15yr old Phelix Boylin ,listed as a servant. They are living in Ballyvally Mountnorris Armagh. Mary Ann also there with husband and son in 1901 census but I cannot find where Phelix was then ( was trying to find who his parents were to see the connection with Mary ann)

have you looked at the newry and mourne ancestry project ? I have also found useful information on the newry and mourne family history group facebook page.

Armagh / Re: Wright - Ballylisk and Portadown area
« on: Friday 12 September 14 18:54 BST (UK)  »
 I grew up in Ballylisk ,my family moved there in the 1970s and I used to work in the shop after school. the shop was owned by Shortts and was on the ground floor of the house that I think belonged to Wrights. there are still wrights in the Ballylisk area but not sure if they are connected. the junction ( now a roundabout) at the Mullavilly road and tandragee road was always known as "wright's crossroads"  There is a CoI church in Mullavilly and in Tandragee ( 2 miles away)

i will try and find out for you from my aunt , the uncle of her half brothers was Berry preston who owned the bar which closed in the early 1970s.she would be a more frequent visitor to newtown than my mum who remembers the pub but doesn't remember what was or is opposite it now. have you tried asking on the creggan historical society site which would cover the newtown area?

Armagh / Re: Mary Ann Baillie
« on: Wednesday 04 September 13 22:31 BST (UK)  »
the David Donaldson that i mentioned was married to margaret bailie who was a cousin and neighbour of my grt grandfather who lived in townland of tullyvallen newtownhamilton. he was born 1842, married in1864 and one of his 9 children was called mary ann who was born in1874  which wouldn't fit with your dates. on the 1901 census he is listed as being a farmer.
i was wondering your Donaldsons would be from the parish of creggan , in particular the townland of cloghoge. this is where my fathers family were from and there were a lot of Donaldsons who seemed to own a lot of land. have a look at the Creggan Historical society web site, under the townlands, as there is some great information there.
