Hello
Have you thought about trying to get someone to search the Tithe books for you,(they listed people in the parishes in the 1830's I would also suggest buying the Ordinance survey memoirs(1830's) for your area of Co. Down, they are very informative about the neighbourhoods & circumstances in which our ancestors lived in. Sometimes their names can appear in the books.
another source to ask for more information are church records, you will need to find which RC parish Garvaghy lies within in and contact the local priest, but you can check at the PRONI website for information on church registers
my family are actually from Co Antrim,additional Antrim family names I am researching are McCaughan, Hamill, Craig
Best of luck
Dave
