They had a son David Kirk born 1843 he was married to Rosanna McGreevy at one time they lived in Comber.

James Kirk

Thanks for the reply Sam
I don't this is the James Kirk I am looking for the inscription James Kirk in memory of his father
John Kirk departed 1799 my 3x G Grandfather wasn't born till 1815.

The other inscription sacred to the memory of James Kirk died 1871 aged 71 my James Kirk would have been 55.

Once again thanks for the reply I'm sure some were along the line they would have been related.

Thanks
Mike Kirk.
