Linton family

[JEL93]

Need help re Lintons in tullycallidy area.
I'll label the first line A and the second B. Basically I have lintons everywhere because there is a C line too!

I have a William Linton(A) born around 1853, farmer. Parents both William Linton, a farmer(his father also William Linton farmer) and Mary Albin, she died in 1906 (reg off by granddaughter Eliza berry*) and both are on the census 1901 with their son William Linton(A)b 1850s listed as a farmer and also married but no wife present in home. All born in armagh.
Assuming with William, they also a daughter Elizabeth Linton b around 1850s and married a Berry, Eliza's birth cert confirmed mother was a Linton.

B line
Here's where I get confused. I have another William Linton also a farmer in armagh in a separate line of family born around 1850s (who's father is recorded as a William also farmer on mrg cert). HE married a jenkinson. They had A daughter christine/tinawho married a grierson (After Christine died her sister Elizabeth* married grierson, it was elizabeths first marriage. )

I can find him (b) on the census with his wife and  Tina + other children in 1901.
He says he's born in armagh too.

How likely is it that this William Linton is the same person recorded twice on the census in 1901.
I cannot find a marriage for Linton and Albins son William(A), and he says he's married on the census.
- I cannot find a death cert for a separate William Linton (A)of this dob either.
-The timeline of Eliza Berry being granddaughter to MJ Albin (A) when she died 1906 and her mother listing William Linton (A) on the marriage certificate as father, farmer, also fits if these two williams in armagh are the same people. As Linton and Jenkinsons (B) daughter Elizabeth did not marry a Berry/ was born too late to have Eliza.
- I also have a Welsh Linton (C) in armagh, early 1800s on another line! Is he connected? Because I'm seeing children being named Wesh on Linton A line too.

I originally thought that B william was maybe from Scotland because of the 2 William lintons, both farmers on the 1901 census.

A+B married into eachother, and C(but the Welsh Linton is way far back in this line)

William Linton’s marriage to Mary Albin in 1849:

William Linton marriage to Margaret Jenkinson in 1882:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1882/10954/8003616.pdf

He gave his address as Tullicallidy so that points to him likely being the son of the 1849 marriage. (There’s only about 12 houses in Tullicallidy).

Eliza Linton marriage to Hamilton Barry in 1873:

This looks to be William & Mary in 1901:

Son William is shown with them.

Here’s Tina Linton and parents in Drumsallan Upper in 1901:

Family in 1911:

Drumsallan Upper is just north of Tullycallidy.

In my opinion there’s only the one William junior who spent 1901 census night on his parents farm in Tullicallidy but was also entered on his own farm in Drumsallan Upper. The census form was probably filled out a few days beforehand and he was expected to be there on census night but wasn’t. And no-one amended it. I have seen that happen before.

William junior’s death in 1906:

His father’s death also in 1906. Informant was son Walsh:

Thanks guys! Pretty sure they're related. Can't seem to find walsh Linton snr (b around 1780s/90s) and his son walsh Linton jnr being related to this line.
Did find a walsh Linton baptising a child in armagh roman catholic in 1806.. no other baptisms recorded and all records after that in the line are protestant.
