...I have Somervillies from Clogher Diocese too and they are in my tree.
Looks like they are fond of trees!
Without a townland (or family unit) it would be difficult to say for definite which one could be yours. I presume you have their religion which would be a good place to start. Mine were mainly Monaghan.

re; "Do the Irish have a similar naming pattern as the Scots?"
NO WE DON'T...we are far more imaginative!
If we have 4 sons John, James, Robert and Alex and they each have 4 sons they call them John, James, Robert and Alex...and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex and if these sons have 4 sons they each call them John, James, Robert and Alex......

Sue,
I am one of the Roberts in Hallmarks list!!
Yes , the naming pattern was fairly similar, eldest son after Father's father, eldest daughter after Mother' mother etc. But remember this was not written in stone.
