Thank you so much for your help on this everybody. This seems to be a well-established family in Dromore. I have good reason to believe that John Stewart moved to Ireland from Scotland, in which case this is unlikely to be a match. Well at least with your help I've 'eliminated this one from my enquiries'! ;-)

The requested info is on an alphabetical list of probate from Drumore 1678-1858.
It appears on Vol 4 .page 150 of 184.

I had a look at page 1 to ascertain where this is.
it contains a hand drawn map of the areas covered, the next few pages form an historical breakdown of the area.
Dromore looks to have been a geographical parish on its own, but as I suspected, it now comes under Co Down, NI

Any idea which volume it's in? Could you copy and paste your search result?

Having a look at some of the results, the ones I've found just give name, place of residence and year of probate.
