I just got the below summary of a will from PRONI (from T/808, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons):
Will proved in Armagh diocese

Armagh Will made 18 June 1734 Proved 15 Oct 1734

wife as Executrix

This is a typewritten document, not handwritten. Does anyone know what "Makenay" in Tyrone or Armagh might be called now? Could it be Maghery? Or somewhere else? Thanks!
