Hi Charles If the addresses that you are quoting are from a research source, then it may be indicating that Balleny is in the parish of Dromore and the parish of Dromore is in the Poor Law Union of Banbridge.

It seems to me it may be just south of that townland. Can anyone tell me if, in fact, Banbridge falls within the boundaries of the 1825 townland of Balleny? Would these addresses indicate that my ancestor was baptised in Banbridge (and I am not sure there was a RC Church in Banbridge in 1825) or if he may have been baptised in Dromore, but resided in Banbridge? That's for any help here. Charles O'Neill
