I'm a descendant of the McFall's of Magherafelt (early 1800's).  Don't know much about Ballyknock as I'm in Canada but Henry McFall owned the Royal Hotel in Bangor and his parents owned a hotel and saddlery in 'The Diamond of Magherafelt'.

If you want to compare notes...

Maghera and Magherafelt are two separate places.
Zander any idea of possible names and dates?

hi thank's for your reply ,at present i have a archibald mcfall married to anne jane taylor in 1855 in maghera pres church his dad was john mcfall a farmer from falgotrevy,maghera.

IGI shows 1 child of Archibald McFall & Ann Jane Taylor: Joseph McFall born 25 May 1868 co.Derry.
Falgortrevy is in Maghera Parish. There are no McFalls listed in Griffith's Valuation (1859). If you have the name of the townland from Archibald McFall's marriage- marriages list the residence of the bride and the groom (at the time of the marriage) not always where they were born or where their parents lived.

Griffiths has only one Archibald McFall in the whole County and he lives in Magherafelt.

Falgortrevy is in Maghera Parish. There are no McFalls listed in Griffith's Valuation (1859).

This should have read: There are no McFalls listed in Falgortrevy in Griffith's Valuation (1859).

[Mennie]

In Magherafelt the McFall's, Mary Ann (McKendrick) & Thomas, had 13 children born between 1813 and 1832.

Archibald was born 15 Jan 1824 (although their was another Archibald McFall born in 1816 but he only lived 8 days).

Other McFall siblings were James, Margret, Martha Anne, Henry, Thomas, Charles Chambers, Robert Barkley, William, George, Mary Anne and David Chambers McFall.  I'm pretty sure they were all baptised in the Magherafelt Presbyterian Church.
