... Anne King's residence looks like Ballylelan. In Templeport C.P. there's a townland called Bellaleenan.....maybe it's it.

Kiltaglassan, your suggestion of Bellaleenan in Templeport civil parish does indeed look much more likely.
Just to offer up some speculation for 'Peter Kennedy'... look at the following 1873 marriage record. Given the bride's address and her father's name, I wonder if she (Bridget) was a sister of Anne King?
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1873/11288/8141135b.pdfGriffiths Valuation for Bellaleenan has a print date of 1857 and shows that the townland only had a relatively few households - there's only one King listed and it is indeed a Hugh King, leasing just over 29 acres, simply enter the place name at the link below to see it:
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=placeSearchBelow is a Tithe Applotment Books entry for the parish of Templeport showing a Hugh King with just over 17 acres in 'Ballyleenan', dated 1826 :
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004625723/004625723_00511.pdf I can see a transcript of a Templeport RC church burial/death record dated 8 January 1858 for a Hugh King of 'Ballilenan'. There is also the following Templeport RC church funeral record for a 'Mrs King' of 'Ballyleenan' (left page, not the reference to Molly King at the top, it's the King reference further down that page, dated 27th February 1874):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634897#page/89/mode/1upI haven't yet found a corresponding civil death record for the above 'Mrs King' (maybe fresh eyes can), but there is a possible matching entry (date wise) in the Will Calendars, a widow named
MARY King of 'Ballyleelan' - see what you think:
http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/reels/cwa/005014891/005014891_00572.pdfThe following looks like a copy of Mary's will in the registers (right page in the link below), I hope you can make it out better than I can, I could swear I can see mention of two sons Hugh and James and a daughter Bridget, I can see no mention of a daughter Anne (maybe Anne was already provided for, having been married for a good number of years), however I can see reference to a 'Con Kennedy' as a signatory, so very interesting:
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/wr/007604250_00427.pdfThere are also a number of Templeport RC church records for the surname 'King' on the NLI RC records website that look as if they mention variant spellings of Bellaleenan within them, in short, the records show that a Hugh King was baptised in 1840 to parents Hugh King and Mary Smith, that the son Hugh went on to marry a Bridget McGovern/Magauran in 1871 and they had a number of children in the 1870s and 1880s. Was Hugh junior maybe a brother of Anne King and the one mentioned in the will? You can see a summary of the baptisms at the link below, the originals can be viewed online in the NLI RC church records website - BTW, there are quite a few Kings in the more general surrounding area, the key factor for your Kings would seem to be that specific Bellaleenan address:
http://www.bawnboy.com/local-genealogy/baptisms/baptisms-1836-1902k-l.htmlEdited to add: Incidentally, Hugh King of Bellaleenan (I assume senior) appears in several instances in the early to mid 1850s in the Ireland Petty Session Court Registers (available on the 'Ancestry' website), sometimes described as farmer, sometimes as Income Tax Collector or Poor Rate Collector (for the Bawnboy Union), most of the cases are to do with folk owing him money, there's one case where someone liberated a cow he had impounded, another case where he was seeking damages for cows straying on his land, no genealogical insights offered, but it adds some colour to the story if you get the chance to peruse. Who I think must be Hugh junior also crops up a few times in these Registers, from around the mid 1860s onwards, again the address is Bellaleenan.
