A Jean McCoid died in Whitehaven-

A Robert McCoid died 1878 in same district but born c1816 according to death registration-

Possibly this family in 1851 census- parents & son Robert born Newtownstewart-

If this is the correct family then you need to know what religion they were in order to see if church records exist. If Catholic the parish registers for Ardstraw East (Newtownstewart) don't start until 1860- and none of the adjoining parishes have records far enough for the son's birth or parents' marriage-
