I was born in Tyrone and grew up there. I am not familiar with these
particular townlands.
Of the 3 you have shortllisted, I'd be tempted to go for
Moyletra Toy.
Anything ending in ' ..agh' is the long 'a' sound as in 'sand' and
Mulladry has the emphasis on the '..lad' and the short '..ry' is an
afterthought.

Moyletra Toy is near Coleraine and you might find these sites of help.
