Yes, there was a Little Ireland in Stranraer.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Have we connected the John Kerr son of Hugh Kerr and Ann mcCartney to our Jane or is it just a possible.?

As with any help on RC or anywhere else i.e. trees online/transcriptions etc. we can only give 'a possible' & needs verification by the poster of queries.
