    Welcome to Ireland reaching Out!

    You query looked familiar so I went back and found the 2016 message and it looks like you made a connection with a relative.

    The townland is spelled Tullycreen and their is a Lower and Upper Tullycreen. The parish registers for Kilmurry Ibrickane RC parish start in 1839 so I don't believe the baptismal record or marriage record are available

    http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0785

    John Dillon is listed in the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for the civil parish.

    I looked at the civil death index records for the Kilrush registration district and there were two John Dillon records which are below. You can write to the General Register Office to get copies or wait for the Irish government to put them online. Possibly one of the two is your ancestor. There were also two margaret Dillon records in 1871.
