Have you excluded this one?
Thomas McKeever Starrs born in Scotland and a carpenter in the 1911 census, as he was when he married Margaret in 1909.

He was given as the father (Thomas McKeever Starrs) when Margaret was the informant for Joseph in 1913, Thomas McKeever in 1919 and Margaret Christina in 1920.

still searching for my great grand father Robert McCrory

Kiltaglassan thats the marriage I have but he is only called Thomas Starrs , wonder why de didnt call himself Thomas McKeever Starrs at marriage ?
even in Ellen McLaughlin Starrs birth in 1910 he is just Thomas Starrs
anyway it certainly looks like him as he has Joseph Starrs as a witness on the marriage certificate , so that would suggest his brother , then he has a son Joseph in 1915 !
I had a look for him in scotlandspeople , but couldnt find him !
anyway regarding him not living with his family in the census ?
ok he was a carpenter/joiner so I suppose he had to travel to find work ...
from what I can gather , Princess Street Ballymena and Diamond Street , Wood Vale Ward are about 30 miles apart !
anyway thanx for your help !

Thomas and brother Joseph Stars/Starrs, living with their Greer relatives at Mill Street in 1901:

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Ballymena_and_Town_and_Urban_District_of_Ballymena/Mill_Street/926297/

and quite possibly their mum, living and working in Belfast, still showing as married, but husband does not appear with her:

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Court_Ward/Conlig_Street/964161/

and her death in 1906 under 'Starrs':

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/0d4a6f4875392

which records her as wife of Thomas Starrs.
