What is recorded here
No credible birthplace claim exists for John Butler Yeats in Banbridge, County Down. The available facts identify William Butler Yeats as born in Sandymount, County Dublin, and describe John only as his father, a lawyer and painter descended from Jervis Yeats. Any story placing John in Banbridge would need new evidence before it stopped being invention.
