Hi Baiglie,
I have located a George Wilson in the 1840 list of Registered Freeholders in the Lurgan Union. This George Wilson was from the townland of Ballymacrandal in the electoral division of Carrowbrack. Use the link provided to view the record, it gives the acreage and value of the tenement.
Good Luck.

Many thanks Andy. This definitely looks like the right family. Some of the other names look like possible connections too.
