Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Typically, words that begin with "BALLY-" tend to be Irish placenames. Are you looking for a set of parish registers from that particular place? There does not appear to be a parish proper with that name in Ireland, but there is a Ballyagran, and a Ballyogan, etc. There might be a small defunct chapelry within a parish, or something, but that's all I can think of. Go to a library and look at a historical gazetteer of the British Isles, like Cassell or Bartholomew, or O'Laughlin's Master book of Irish place names.
