I wonder if this Rev. John Levingston who died Mar 03 1936 in Bangor, Co. Down is yours?

This is the probate record to a John Learmouth LEVINSGTON! - LINK

There is a mention of May Levingston in a Moylan family plot in Midleton Co Cork having died 18th May 1982 Interred in Bangor.  She was indeed the Mary Moylan shown on Census in 1911 in Midleton age 8 yrs

It very much looks like the May Levingston mentioned on headstone in Midleton  was John's second wife. To have married so young and then to have become a widow so young and then seemingly not to have married again. I wonder did herself and John have any children ?

It looks like the Revd John Levingston and his second wife May did pass away on the dates previously mentioned. At http://www.bangorabbeygraveyard.online/Bangor%20Abbey%20Graveyard%20-%20L.htm . Bangor Abbey Graveyard, Bangor, Co Down there is a transcription of their headstone to be found.
LEVINGSTON
Erected to the memory of the Rev. John Levingston, B.A., who died 3rd March 1936 aged 79 years.

'I need no priest but Jesus'  'Thou O Christ art all I want' 'I shall be satisfied when I awake with Thy likeness' Psalm XV11. 15

Also his wife, May, died 18th May 1982.
At rest.
