Looking for Hugh Treanor

DownDown (Down)

My gggrandfather, Hugh Treanor, was born in Co, Down on August 18, 1800 or 1802. Guessing from the Flax registry of Co Down in 1797, one of his parents is probably from this short list:

 Traynor,           Bernard                 Kilmegan

Traynor,           Hugh                       Ballee 

Traynor,           Hugh                       Tyrella 

Traynor,           Richard                    Tyrella

Traynor,           Rose                        Kilmegan 

Traynor,           Thomas                      Kilmegan 

Treanor,           Patrick                     Newry

Treanor,           Roger                      Clonduff 

Treanor,           Thomas                     Newry

He married a Catherine Sherlock (also from Ireland) in London in 1828 and emigrated to Canada in 1937, then Iowa, USA.  He was in the garment industry.

 

Can anyone help me determine the parish and/or parents?

 

Thank You
