Corrections here for years, ages -  at Michael FINLAY and son  John -

Lot of information to work with. This is what I see, with daughter Isabella, second last, being additional to the transcribed list. Please cast an eye over so that I can correct -

They are not inscribed in order of death?

The Kirk session says Margaret Black (not Barbara) and George Crookshank a soldier in the Grant Fencibles.

Added… Is it likely that George is the father, but Joseph assumed responsibility?

[mckha489]

should be born c1795.

Otherwise ok.
Yes - the inscriptions are not in date order.  Part of the reason I think they were likely most, if not all,  added at a later date.
Already there is one definite error - Margaret Scoular died 1863 not 1862


And Isabella Black died 4th not 3rd

Interesting re the Kirk Sessions.   Hopefully this is the image of the 1800 bapt.

What does the note in the RH margin say?

[Kay99]

Crookshank Black   In other records it is the surname of the parents - ususally just one

Of course. I can’t have had enough wine yet.

Meanwhile

There is this death

I can't see any church burials for Irvine between 1797 and 1855 on Scotlands People which appears to tie in with this https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Irvine,_Ayrshire,_Scotland_Genealogy
