Eugene, I found the following Bernard's baptism on RootsIreland.  The mother is called Ally Campbell here, but if you look at the register, it is almost impossible to figure out her first name. Could be Isabella?

 

Name:Bernard O'Neill

  Date of Baptism:13-Jan-1830

Address:Parish/District:CLONOE

CountyTYRONE

Father:Thomas O'Neill

Mother:Ally Campbell

Note that according to IrelandXO,

" a Bryan, in Griffith's Valuation can turn up under Barnabus (Barnaby) and Bernardus (Bernard) in parish records. All three could be the same individual! So when a trail suddenly runs dry, it's time to look into first name aliases.   a Bryan, in Griffith's Valuation can turn up under Barnabus (Barnaby) and Bernardus (Bernard) in parish records.

Just mentioning this because there is a Barnaby in the above Flax Growers List. He might be a Bernard or a Brian.

 

Also, if Bernard O'Neil was Thomas's first child, it is quite possible Thomas's father was also named Bernard.

 

Hope this helps.
