Hi,
I have only a loose connection with McParland. John Bennett from Ballard married Margaret McParland on 9 July 1848 Fee 1 pound
Witnesses John Hughes & Frank Murphy

Sept 19 1849 Anthony of John Bennett & Margaret McParlan
Sponsors Owen O'Niel & Margaret O'Neil

30 Sept 1859 Nicholas of John Bennett & Margaret (My husbands g-grandfather)
Sponsors Matthew McPurlan & Ann McPurlaw? McParland spelt 4 different ways on one page in the church register.

I suppose you have them in Griffiths Valuation in Ballard in parish of Killevy.
I also used film 926042 at LDS , Parochial registers of Upper Killevy & Lower Killevy, Armagh 1832 - 1881.
Baptisms Jan 4 1835 - Jan 27 1860
Marriages Jan 6 1835 - Jan 26 1860
Deaths Aug 1858 - Jan 30 1860
Baptisms Jan 1 1860 to Dec 29 1880
Records to 1860 seem to be reasonably complete through hard to read in places. 1860 - 1862 not bad then a gap to 1868 then a gap to 1875.
I didn't check marriages after 1860 so don't know what they're like.
I believe 1835 is the earliest records for Lower Killevy (Bessbrook)
This Catholic parish takes in St Peter & Pauls Bessbrook, St Malachy Camlough, Sacred Heart Lislea, Immaculate Conception Newry, Good Shepherd Cloughrough.
