Rod,
I looked in the tithe applotment records for 1829 and there was a William Henery in Mullaghboy (he would have been a farmer).

There’s 2 William Henry households in the 1831 census for Magherafelt parish. Both were RC.

If your family were RC, then the Magherafelt parish records start in 1834, so you may find Elizabeth’s baptism, or that of any siblings. The RC parish records are on-line free on the National Library site:
