In case you are not already aware, there is a Joyce family tree (from Belmullet) posted at http://www.goldenlangan.com/families.html .  Also, several Joyce and Dixon headstones appear in the Emlybeg and old Carne cemeteries (see http://www.goldenlangan.com/headstones.html ).

Hi

Lots of Dixons on the Blacksod Bay site



http://www.blacksodbayemigration.ie/search/?q=dixon

some townland mentioned for a few of them.    You need to click on the map at the right
hand side of the name to see the townland.

A little bit later than your Dixons but may be connected
