The 1831 census for Co Derry has 607 McCloskey households, of which 4 were in Magherafelt parish. Henry M in Ballyheifer, 2 Paul Ms in Castledawson and 1 Atty M in Killyneese.
With the family naming tradition it was common to use the same names over again, and so 2 brothers are likely to have children of similar names. Hence 2 Felixes. There’s 2047 people named Felix in the 1901 Irish census, so no that uncommon a name in Ireland.
If you order the 2 death certs you should get their townlands and that may help narrow down which family is which.
