nevertheless the proximity of Gilford Castle to Gill Hall estate is just 8 miles ~ENE by road 
both places offering employment.   Banbridge to Gill Hall as the crow flies about 5 milesNE

I found the death of my grt grandmother Margaret Gibson 11 Oct 1865 on the certificate it says she was a servants wife ( samuel Gibson Servant as occupation) but just gives place of death as Gilford )
Has anybody any suggestions how I could trace where it was they lived.the death details I found on geanology i.e.

Have you looked at Griffith's Valuation & Valuation Revision Books to see  who they were leasing the property from?

Apparently the village of Gilford covers Loughans, Ballymacanallen and Drumaran townlands (Tullylish civil parish.) Lots of pages to go through inthe Revision books but may allow you to pinpoint an exact property as well as Samuel's employer.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
