There was a Patrick Quinn listed in the Royal Irish Constabulary records and he came from Armagh , unusually he was Catholic

The old spelling of Belleek in Armagh was baleek. I am told this is Irish and pronounced roughly Ball Lough , which has an unfortunate pronunciation in English . It was anglicised to Belleek and subsequently an S was added to distinguish it from its name sake in Fermanagh .

There was a Patrick Quinn living there in the 1840's .he was a farmer .
