Below is my list of baptisms and marriages from the Parish Derryloran Magazine, county Tyrone from 1829 to 1887, mostly McFalls. Notice how the spelling has changed from Falls to M'Falls and now it is McFalls. My mother brought this from Ireland when she went about 1950.

G.F.S. Presentation to Miss Mann.
At their weekly meeting on Monday 23rd March, the Derryloran members of the G.F.S. had a very special and pleasant surprise for their Secretary, Miss Mann. A large number of the members were present on this occasion to take part in an event which marked the esteem in which their Secretary was held, and to show their appreciation of the continued interest in the G.F.S. always evinced by Miss Mann. In making the presentation, Mrs. H. Devin expressed the good wishes of all the members of the Derryloran Branch of the G.F.S., and voiced their sentiments of gratitude to Miss Mann for her sustained devotion to the cause of the Society, over a very long period of years. The preset was in the form of valuable Old Bleach hand painted linen. All congratulated Miss Mann as the recipient of this token of high esteem from the members of the G.F.S., who attended her class through the past season.
