Killyleagh is in the RC parish of Kilmore. From what I can see the earliest records they have are baptisms starting in 1837. There’s a copy on the Ulster Historical Foundation site (pay to view). I don’t think anything exists prior to that.
There’s quite a few McGreevys from Killyleagh mentioned on the Ros Davies site, including Patrick’s burial:
