The house was on plot 52a which is near Sparrowhill Bridge on the Bog Road, off the modern B134 Longfield Rd, a mile or two north of Forkhill. It'd be easy enough to locate today. Arthur appears to be Peter McConville's father. www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml Peter appears to have married Catherine in 1868. There is a likely marriage listed on several pay to view sites. Father listed as Arthur McConville on one I can see. There's an abstract (summary) of a will listed for a Peter McConville of Meighfoner (Maphoner) listed on the PRONI wills website: McConville Peter of Meighfoner county Armagh farmer died 13 March 1937 Probate Belfast 28 November to Thomas Nugent farmer. Effects £15. Effects £15 0s 0d http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx You'd need to contact PRONI, Belfast to get a copy of the will.
