    I checked the Griffiths Valuation head of household data for Co. Down which was completed in 1863. Assuming your John Ashwood was captured in the Griffiths Valuation survey before he emigrated, the two records below are possible leads. Ballydown and Dooghary are townlands in Seapatrick parish which is just to the north of Annaclone parish. I also found the David McIlveen record in Annaclone parish. Since the marriage was in Annaclone parish, it is likely that Susanna lived in that parish.
