Who is Thomas Sproule of Omagh in 1771?

This one is an unsolved mystery. There is a deed with a Thomas Sproule of Omagh who had leased rooms in the Brick House in Omagh in 1771. He is now selling his lease. We know that he took out the lease in 1769, only two years before.

Notes

This looks as if Thomas Sproule is a trader of some kind – this would be very unusual for a Grennan or Curraghamulkin Sproule.

Those Sproules would be more likely to have a doctor or a lawyer in the family, but this Thomas is unlikely to be either of those, as the deed would have used the appropriate title

Thomas took the property in 1769 and is now selling it just two years later
