Is anyone researching people with the surname ROCK or ROCKS in Co. Armagh?

Mine was a James ROCK/S, the son of either Bernard ROCKS & Catherine
GILDERNUE, bap.1798 (sponsors: Felix ROCKS & Elenor COLLINS) or the son of
John ROCKS & Margaret COWAN & bap. 1804 (sponsors: James TREANOR & Margaret
RAVERTY) - both events in the RC parish of Ballymore, Co. Armagh.

James married Sarah CAMPBELL (called Sally in the register) 24 Apr 1836 in
Ballymore.The witnesses were Edward ROCK & Charles CAMPBELL.

James & Sarah's 3 known children all born Ballymore were: Agnes b1837
(sponsors: Edward ROCK & Margaret ROCK), Peter b1839 (sponsors: Peter KINNY
& Mary ROCK) & Mary b1841 (sponsors: Hugh MCCONNELL & Mary ROCK).

I have made a list of all the ROCKs on the Earl of Charlemont's estate
(from the Rent Rolls) before discovering that mine came from Ballymore not
Cladymore and would be happy to search this list for anyone. It also
includes such names as VALLELLY, TONER, CARROLL, MCQUADE, GOLLOGLY.
