its the PRONI Public Records office of Northern Ireland web site, thats where i got my guy from Moneymore...go to
 www.proni.gov.uk its in the wills callendars section, click search will calendar and put your names in ( i found that one on page 3) you might find that some of the others are brothers with any luck. It might be nothing but its a start...hey yours were quite rich considering, my farmer died a year later and only left the widow 10 quid! 
Yours (if its them) would be thousands by todays inflation...im sure someone will work it out for you 

Lets see if Margaret left anything to anyone...what else are sleepless nights for?

There is only this one in the same county but a different district, you would need to search the areas and see how close they were and also more possible children for James and Margaret. Have you tried the IGI site? You can search just putting the parents names in..

If you go to the bottom of the home page there is a link that says               See prototype for searching millions of records, once you have the results up you can narrow down the search by place etc

Good luck, i hope they turn out to be yours, i know what its like to be on a roll...then get no further  And good luck at the Mitchell, you will love it...maybe see you on SFT?
