Balla ...

Trying to sort out families in Kirk Michael with very similar, no identical, names over several generations, whose homes in wills, registers, & MIs are given variously as

Ballakinney
Ballakinnag

Balnykilley
Ballna Killey
Ballakilley
Ballakilley clieu
Balla Killeycleu

I've got used to the myriad spellings of what I think of as Ballalonna in Michael - anything from Balhioney to Ballahouna, but I'm trying not to jump to obvious conclusions in the above.

If anyone can confirm which of the above are most likely to be the same places with variant names I'd be very grateful.
