... a James Boston was born on 31 May 1806 to John Boston and Elizabeth 'McAriston' of 'Lisnacurren' ...


The database of the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project based within the department of Irish & Celtic Studies at Queen's University, Belfast shows 'Lisnacurran' as an abbreviation of Listullycurran, current of use in 1834 (source: Ordnance Survey Name Books), so I'm thinking that's a reasonable contender, given its location:

The surnames section of the Ros Davies website is worth having a look through, it has an entry for 'Betty' McCOSTIN / McARISTON / McCORSTIN / McCARRISON (and John Boston) in the following surname section:

A corresponding entry is under John Boston in the following surname section.
https://www.rosdavies.com/SURNAMES/B/BoaBot.htm

These entries mention further children to this couple - Robert (1819), Eliza (1821), Samuel (1823), Margaret (1826-30), and Ellen (1828).

There is also an entry for Leonard Boston that mentions his wife and children.

An Ellen Boston of Tullindoney married a Thomas Robinson in Moira Presbyterian Church on 18 February 1854, her father was recorded as John Boston a farmer, so possibly the sister to Leonard b. 1828 (mentioned at reply #19 above).

At the moment there may be an issue with the 'irishgenealogy' website as I'm struggling to post a link, but it should be very easy to find there.
