Coming back to the original enquiry, I just came across this will of Thomas Christian where the name of Ballanekilley appears

The Common Room / Re: Liverpool: Beatles connections?
« on: Wednesday 11 June 25 16:28 BST (UK)  »
I went to one of the schools Paul went to but decades later. My cousin is a distant relation of John Lennon. She is a descendant of the County Down, Ireland Lennons, James Lennon & Jane McConville who settled in Liverpool via their son Edward. John was a descendant of Edward's brother John "Jack" Lennon (John's grandfather).

Paul's paternal ancestry line is also from Ireland:-

You could contact the Lancashire Record Office and ask them about the inquest and ask if the record survives anywhere. You may need to contact a coroner's office to ask them if you can view the record:-

Lancashire / Re: Elon Musk's Liverpool Ancestors

Great work. The 1878 marriage in the parish of Walton on the Hill was at Holy Trinity Church in Toxteth. The parish was very large and included various districts outside of the Walton area. I've seen in other research about how Matilda was a Powell but the Robinsons were originally Duckworths is new to me and that's a fascinating twist.

In the members only area of IOMFHS website it says ManninCloud no longer operates a website. Some of the files are in the members only area of the website. There's some will transcripts here that have been preserved but they're in the members area of the IOMFHS website:-

That's a shame. Some content may still be accessed via the Wayback Machine website but I always find it hard work navigating it. Here's an example of a page using Wayback:-
