well this is helpful
a newspaper extract from the Belfast newsletter in 1888
"Mr. CUMING said that Patrick Cushnahan died on the 22nd February, 1872, having previously made his will, dated the 11th May, 1871, and by it: he ordered his farm of land, which consisted of 22 acres, and house, which he held under Sir Richard Wallace, as tenant from year to year, to be sold, and an annuity of
£8 a year to be paid to his wife, and on her death the residue to be divided equally between his three sons and four daughters. The wife died within one week after the death of the testator, and probate was granted to the plaintiff on the 26th March, 1887. When the testator died the defendants possessed themselves of a farm of land and other of his assets, which they still retained, and his client sought to obtain a decree for the administration of the estate."
the three brothers are mentioned in the article as Hugh, Edward and James. Now will just have to find the daughters
perhaps it will lead me to something else.
