Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Tullaghaun and Ballybeg are adjacent townlands (Ballybeg is just to the east of Tullaghaun). https://www.townlands.ie/mayo/costello/annagh/course/ballybeg/ Is it possible the family in question had land in both townlands?

Is Tullysleva the same as Tullaghaun? I have some dna matches to MUNNELLY from Tullysleva
Tullysleva is in Kilbefad civil parish, and I believe in the Catholic parish of Backs. You can find more info about Tullysleva here: https://www.townlands.ie/mayo/tirawley/kilbelfad/ballina-rural/tullysle…
Tullaghaun is in Annagh civil parish, where the Catholic parish has the same name. That parish is 20-30 miles southeast of Backs. You can find more info about it here: https://www.townlands.ie/mayo/costello/annagh/course/tullaghaun/
You can access Catholic parish records for Backs at this site, and you can move to other parishes using the interactive map which you'll see there: https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0738

KIndest regards,
