Problem profiles
There are two Matilda Reynolds of this townland, daughter of Thomas:
There are also two Thomas Reynolds in Griffith's Valuation. Not clear which is which.
Samuel Crooks (bef.1792-) we are not sure if the family in the church notes is the same one as in the Bertie Book or not; but given the scarcity of Crooks in the 1831 census I would be very confident that it is.
In church records
3rd Cookstown Presbyterian Church: Notes on the Congregation has one family at this townland:
- Samuel Crooks (bef.1792-) + Mary Wylie
The Claggan Presbyterian people do not want their parish register to be digitized online. It can only be viewed on PRONI microfilm. The 1st Cookstown Presbyterian records would also undoubtedly have some families of this townland, from before Claggan Presbyterian was built.

People not in the census
These people do not seem to be in the 1831 census, suggesting perhaps they did not move to the townland until later (or never, if it's only a child marriage record):
- Thomas Reynolds (abt.1807-1882) -- although maybe Etty is his mother.
- James Bell (abt.1799-abt.1879)
- Andrew Campton (abt.1800-1890)
