Land Ownership

I am researching my descendents from my GG  Robert Love (1779-1860) married to Elizabet Cavin (1783-1855) who were tenant farmers on the 1862 Griffiths Valuations in the County: Antrim,  Barony, Kilconway, Parish, Rasharkin, Townland Killycreen and Dunenay. (Dunenae).  I have a copy of his will where he passed the Killyceen farm onto sones James and David and the Duneany farm to son Matthew ( my  great grandfather). .  In MAtthew's will he seems to have bypassed my Grandfather, Robert Love and left the farm to his younger son David.  Robert married my Grandmother  Mary Rankin (nee Gaston) in 1906 and my father Robert James Love was born 9 April 1907.  Mary Love along with my father and another son Stewart Alexander Hall Love came to New Zealand in 1910.

 It is the Duneany branch of the family that I am a descendant from and it would appear as if at some point in time they then became the actual Landowners.  This is what I would like any information or clues of   This is what I would like any information or clues of where to look. 

​The Killycreen farm is onthe Dunminning Road, Glarford. BT44 and the Duneany farm is off that road between the Killycreen farm and the Killymuris Pres Church.

The Valuation Revision Books for Duneany on the PRONI website show the Love farm (plot 23) being rented up to 1929 anyway (when those records finish). Landlord was HWS Gray. So the purchase must have been after that. The date may be in the next series of records (VAL3 series) which are held in PRONI and are not on-line. Personal visit required to view them.
