http://www.rootschat.com/links/03by/  Map of the Tullaghgarley, Craigs Parish (no one by surname Ross in 1862), beyond Teeshan.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/03bz/  Map of Tullaghgarley near and Tullaghgarley far, which straddle Ahoghill Parish and Connor Parish.

Bear in mind the spelling of the townland name in each Parish has a number of variations over the years.

Scotmum - Thanks for the links.  The graveyard where I still own 4 graves is marked, just north of the name Ballylesson.  I am positive that my James Ross was the one in Tullygarley (either near or far).  RosemaryJoan

Thought seeing the townlands on the maps might help and yes, the graveyard is marked.

The James Ross, Tullagharley, Ahoghill Parish in Griffiths was on land that had five other houses on it.  His was recorded as f and was the only one on this piece of land that had 'Free' under Immediate Lessor. The description was House and garden,  0A. 0R. 32P. His RAV was 5s for the land and £1 5s for the property.  In neighbouring houses were a Samuel Curry, b William M'Ilhagel, c Unoccupied, d David M'Micken and e Anne Thompson. Samuel Curry leased his land from Reps. George Joy then sub-let houses to the others, except Ross. b to e did not lease any of the land.

Yes, it puzzles me that the house was freehold.  That must surely mean that he owned it.  He was a labourer in 1864 but by the time his daughter (my g.grandmother) married, he was a farmer.  His father was also James Ross, a farmer and I suspect that he was either the one in Craigs or the one in Ballymuckvea (Connor).  Might see if I can find a death for Jane Ross, his wife.  RosemaryJoan

Labourer/Farmer seemed to be inter-changed frequently on various records in some of my lines. Just seemed to depend on who was giving the information or how the person receiving the information decided to record it.

ASk any punter in Ballymena where Tullygarley is and they will say - out the Galgorm Road, turn right at Dan's Road and there you are ... (if you kept going out the Galgorm Road you would then reach Lisnafillan and then Gracehill and then Ahoghill!) Check yer google maps folks.

TullyGRAWLEY (very often confused with Tullygarley/Tullaghgarley) on the other hand is pretty much a small field''s distance away from Teeshan.

So there youse are.

Who's yer man Dan then and why does he need a road ??? It's strange about roads and streets and the like. Christian names tend to be connected to streets which are located in urban areas whilst surnames seem to be more commonly attached to roads in rural areas.

You guys in Ballymena are so informal. Shortening names makes it difficult to know which historical people in the town might have had Braes and Roads named in their honour.
I know that one or two of the streets in the city of Belfast are named after historical characters. Ballymoney Street was a sensible idea. What about Mill Street ... was there a mill there at one stage? Wasn't there a Clarence Hotel there at one time? Who was he?
