RE: Wexflyer's question. The Sweetman book was delivered, read and returned. three interesting points. In the appendix, Edward Hay's census report for Killmallick shows two families with slightly different spellings. Hannah could be part those families. second: the fact that a micro-film image of the parish marriage records dating to 1795/6 exists while the NLI digitalized records of baptism and marriage start with 1833. Where is the micro-film record held? The snip of the 1795/6 marriage record was sent to me by a person who had worked on the Kilmallick cemetery book. Thirdly: Sweetman states that local oral traditon puts the Ballinkeele House owner at the Battle of the Boyne.

Let me see:
1. "Edward Hay's census report". Which census? Where available? Far from clear.
2. I have not personally ever had cause to look at the Crossabeg parish records, but I believe they exist from 1794. However, the NLI only microfilmed from 1856 as far as I am aware (not 1833), and only for baptisms.
3. The records are under local control - meaning the parish. May be available (but not online), for a fee from RootsIreland, you would have to ask.
4. King James' Army List was published and exists in book form. If one of the Hays of Ballinkeele was at the Boyne it would presumably have been as an officer, and he should be in that book.
