Hannah's from Downpatrick?

[KitHannay]

Hi all,

My ancestor George Hannah was born in 1780 in County Down. He enlisted in the army in Glasgow on 17 July 1798 and on his record it was stated he came from the parish of Tyrowley in or near the town of Downpatrick in the County of Down. I cannot find any info on a parish of Tyrowley in Down (only one in Mayo). I wonder if anyone is able to help me? I'd love to know where the family came from (George and his family settled in Scotland from the 1840s).

Thanks you!
Katelyn
