Who were their parents?

Have you searched for deaths at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk using their mothers' maiden surnames?
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.

The parents of the siblings are James Kirk 1759-1813 and Mary McLean 1755-1830.

James's parents are Robert Kirk 1787-1862 and Elizabeth Byers 1791-1866.

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk has been duly researched.
