Any information about these families living or deceased would be gratefully received.
Greenaways lived in Tanderagee and Mullaglas
Great Grandfather Thomas was with RIC and left after an uprising with his family around 1889 for England to live. His wife was Elizabeth McAlpine of Antrim daughter of Elizabeth Dennison and Robert McAlpine(?).
Family lore has it that Elizabeth Dennison was the daughter of landed gentry who married beneath her and was therefore shunned by her family until her death when they brought her body to be buried at Lurgan. Could this be tru?
His father George was a linen weaver in Mullaglass and married Jane Cummings of Tanderagee in 1849 in St. Mark's church in Ballymore according to their marriage certificate which states that George's father, Thomas was a farmer and that Jane's father, William, was a publican.
That's about all I know.

Griffiths Valuation for 1863, for Mullaghglass, has Thomas Green(a)way senior on plot 2 (house and 4 acres); Thomas junior is on plot 6a (house, offices and 14 acres). He was subletting a house and garden to John Cummins. Some sort of relation to Jane Cummings perhaps?
There?s a William G on plot 9 (land only) and David on plot 12 (house and 20 acres). So it looks as though there was a family group there.
The subsequent revaluation records show William gave up his land in 1871, and that David acquired plot 13 (as well as 12) in 1874. Thos snr changed to Mary G in 1877 suggesting he had died. John Cummins vacated his house on 6b in 1882. Wm G appears to have acquired a house on plot 7 c 1874 (no start date given). Mgt Greenaway is shown with some land on plot 9 in 1883. David Greenaway gave up plot 12 in 1892, and plot 13 is then shown as Joseph Greenaway from 1875 onwards. Joseph Greenaway takes over p-lot 6 from Thomas jnr in 1895. William G?s house on plot 7 is vacant by 1901. Joseph appears to have died around 1895 as he is then shown as ?reps of? for plot 13.

Thomas?s marriage to Elizabeth McAlpin was registered in Lisburn on 12.10.1880. That certificate should give you her townland and father?s occupation which may be the basis to research her further.
