Yes, I am very grateful. This information has opened some doors and I have been able to find the documentation Elwyn refers to.
Now my challenge is to find Samuel Weir's ancestry. He married Sarah Harvey. I've been able to find several baptism and marriage records from Ballysudden and the Parish of Derryloran. There are several Harvey families so am currently trying to group the individuals into family units to see if I can get a sense of the larger family. Samuel Weir may have had a brother or two but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.

He had plot 11 which was a farm of just under 11 acres. Easy enough to locate today should you wish to do so. He remains tenant in the Valuation revision records until 1888 when he is replaced by Andrew Barkley, who I suspect may have been his son-in-law. Samuel died at Ballysudden on 14.5.1890 and the informant was his daughter Jane Barclay. The Barkley/Barclay family had left that townland by 1899, and I don't see them in the 1901 Irish census. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/d eaths_1890/06108/4743673.pdf Sarah Weir died 23.12.1886, again at Ballysudden. Her death is listed in the Coleraine Chronicle for 1.1.1887.
