Hi Pablo, I had a further look around, You and Paul! have worked hard on the message boards. my normal research is in Co Down where I know it is essential to have the civil parish and then the townland for good research, and worse try to find the Government administration District covering part or all of the area wanted. The OS of NI in 1970 published a series of maps, one should be for County Antrim, sheet ! should be a map showing townlands and other administrative units and the disposition of 6 inch sheets and 1;2500 plans .You need a look up friend in Belfast. My instinct is to examine the large 6 inch map for the area and some clues might exist as to why it is called Ardymagh. There appears to be lots of good fishing around the area, the photos of the road show its worth visiting, but I live in England, so sorry.
So just to see if I have picked up anything you haven’t heres my look for Ardymagh
current spelling on Google maps and as named by photographers eg
www.geograph.org.uk/photo/533522Its south of Glenwherry by say 800 metres
Ardymagh Road runs roughly to Glenwherry , parrell East-west from Ballynashee Road in a loop up to Shaneshill Road
below you will see I have post codes which I have not put into Google search for maps
As a townland it is not listed by PRONI currently Recheck alternative spellings eg Ardimagh. No that didn’t work

So what surprises me today is I cant find freeholders spelling at all in PRONI freeholders or possible signers of the Ulster Covenant also at PRONI.
Have you exhausted
www.familysearch.com, and
www.emerald ancestors.com , ancestry and rootsweb etc. I think I am running out of ideas, and may not be able to help you further.
It s a challenge as to why the Road is so clearly named , and yet it isn’t a current townland, presumable of being swallowed up over time by other made boundaries. more voluntary help is needed for you. Best regards Jim
