NOTE: I must get.
George Killen CAMPBELL[1] of Portnaghy[2] Co. Monaghan administrator of Benjamin OLIVER late of Lislooney. Benjamin OLIVER seems to be the father of James OLIVER[3] of Lislooney & Letitia OLIVER[4] (née SIMPSON) is the wife of James OLIVER. They are the parents of Benjamin Robert OLIVER eldest son of James & Letitia. James & Letitia’s indenture of marriage 1830 June 18. The deed mentions Leonard DOBBIN[5] of Gardiners Place, Dublin Esq.

[6] Arthur OLIVER is probably of Ballinahonebeg – but I can’t yet place him other than that. I suspect he is related to Benjamin OLIVER. Interestingly, a Robert Oliver who was a son of another Arthur Oliver (of Drumkirwan, Clogher, Co. Tyrone - a generation after this Arthur OLIVER) married Eliza Mullen of Cavan Moutray - on 9th Dec 1858. Since Arthur is not a common OLIVER name, this record may be important to keep in sight (Thanks to Jack Storey for this).
