I have looked at the original certificate Gordon and it clearly states the townland to be Killyneal........however the name has evolved over the centuries. First recorded as Killaneale in 1633, it had become Killyneal by c1834 (as recorded in the Drumglass tithe applotment book of 1832) http://www.placenamesni.org/resultdetails.php?entry=9802 where Joseph Lucus is recorded at that time. Se my index to Drumglass TAB https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/drumglass.html

My great-great-grandmother came from a townland near Dungannon, named Killyneal on her marriage record, but it doesn't exist! Instead Killymeal and Killyneill both exist and are both near Gortshalgan where she and her husband lived. So which is the right one? Anyone's guess, as both are valid candidates.
