lol sorry, yep, Ballylaggan 
James stone now includes 'also his wife JEAN died 20th June 2005, aged 91 years.
As for the Pyper headstone, there was no name outside the chapel and I reversed back down the cullycapple road when leaving so if there is another on that road I have missed it? The headstone reads 'In loving memory of a dear husband and father ARCHIE PYPER died 2nd September 1970 also his loving wife ELLEN died 25th August 1993'
These names mean nothing to me yet.
I have seen the headstone for my cousin John recorded online but it now includes his father and mother (my Uncle and Aunt) reading 'Also STEWART, a dear husband, father and grandfather, died 29th January 2003, aged 65 years and FLORENCE, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, died 27th October 2004 aged 67 years.'

I didn't have much time but found Thomas McKirgan c.1908 (My grandfathers eldest brother) along with his wife and beside him, Mervyn James McKirgan, possibly a son. I have been assured their father is there somewhere by a family member so will be returning for a proper scout around. I also had a quick look around the initial Ballygallon graveyard further up the road, beautiful!
