I suspect that there's been a mis-transcription and that the place you are looking for is Ballybrick not Ballylorick

Have you seen the actual headstone yourself or have you found the reference elsewhere?

There is no Ballylorick listed here-

'lo' & 'b' could easily be confused, especially is the writing is difficult to read.

It's had quite a few spelling over the years although BallyLorick isn't listed some a close

There is an Elizabeth O'Neil and a Mary O'Neil of Rathfriland on this page

You just have to do a page search for the word Rathfriland.
