Boylans of Mullabrack - Please help!

I wonder if this is Patrick's baptism record?
Church Baptism   Boylan   Patrick   1835 Co. Armagh
It's the only one near enough the right age and from the same source as the wedding.

Thanks for that, it may well be. I have his death cert, died in 1909 aged 70. His father was Patrick Boylan and listed as a Cooper. From a newly-found 1881 Scotland census, his brother is living with them in Port Glasgow. The brother is a quarryman and named Felix. Later he lives in Glasgow with his sister Anne. Weirdly Felix's death cert has the parents listed as John Boylan (Cooper) and Ann Doonan, but Patrick's death cert has the father as Patrick Boylan (Cooper) and mother Mary Doonan...?

And then there is another little mystery..Interestingly we have an old letter in the archive which mentions brothers John,Felix & Leon Boylan. John was a cooper to trade, who had a Grocer/Public House at Greens Cross. Felix kept a public house in Kilmarnock, but moved to Liverpool. Then comes the exciting bit.."One of my uncles left the Ordinance Survey and went to the United States. Serving as a Captain in a brush with the Mexicans he received 5 city lots in Atlanta City, that of Georgia"
Can anyone shed any light on this ? I have attached the full note.

not sure if this is the same family connection, but on family search,there is a marriage for a Mary A Boylin born 1849 with a father Felix Boylin on 29th oct 1868 in Tandragee co armagh.  you had mentioned earlier Ballymore,  and Ballymore is a Parish/ Townland in Tandragee. there is a RC church in Tandragee.

on the 1911 census  this mary ann McQuade  ( maiden name Boylin) is now 63yrs, a widow living with her son James age    36yrs and a 15yr old Phelix Boylin ,listed as a servant. They are living in Ballyvally Mountnorris Armagh. Mary Ann also there with husband and son in 1901 census but I cannot find where Phelix was then ( was trying to find who his parents were to see the connection with Mary ann)

Thank you folks this is brilliant. The family names do seem to match. If only I could match them all on a census pre 1863. Without that I can't confirm the exact family line.

Hi,
   This may be nothing but the spelling of the parish in Co. Armagh is MULLAGHBRACK. There is a parish in Co. Monaghan called Clones which has a townland of MULLABRACK and in this townland are two households of Boylans. Jane and John Boylan!!!

if you haven'y done so already,have a read at the will of Patrick Boyland and one for Felix Boyland of Lenelea Armagh, as they contain many of the names you mention and there are references to sons in USA , San Francisco.  PRONI wills.
