Your problem is that the births and marriage were all before the start of any records for that area. Ballynure Presbyterian church has baptism and marriage records from 1819 onwards. Too late for you obviously. If there were any earlier records they have long been lost. (Not uncommon in Ireland).

Ballynure was certainly heavily involved in the 1798 uprising. In general, the names of the rank and file supporters who fled after the defeat at the battle of Antrim have not been recorded. (No legal action was ever taken against them). A handful of senior commanders were tried and executed (McCracken etc) “pour decourager les autres” and some middle ranking officers were held and given the option of a trial for treason (penalty death) or being allowed to leave Ireland with all their family for good, usually within 3 months. A pragmatic way of ensuring they didn’t participate in any future rebellions. Some of their names appear in the Black Book of the Rebellion (MIC575/1 in PRONI, the public record office in Belfast). But if your family remained in Ireland till around 1817, I’d say they were rank and file supporters and probably don’t appear in any official records of the rebellion.
