Maybe adding a few more details, where born, address, who his parents were, when/where married, father's occupation etc. would be helpful to others.

Here is a link to Scottish born people with the 'Kirk' surname, in the 1901 census for County Down:

Was your chap born in Ireland? Do you believe his father to have been Scottish?

Hello.
What I am trying to find is where the Kirks came from originally in Scotland. I know my Grandfather came to England and married Rachel Mary Baldam, I also know my Great grandfather was called David Kirk born 1843  married Rosanna McGreevy my GG Grandfather was called James Kirk born 1815 Raffrey Kilinchy. I just wanted to know anyone in Scotland has any connection with the Kirks surname.
