Dear ingham,
The Robert McGirr who was married to Eliz Hume is I believe my great great grandfather. He farmed at ballyhaskey farm near Newtown Cunningham. His son David moved to Scotland in the 1870s or so and inherited the farm when Robert died. I am on holiday at present so do not have the info at my fingertips, but I will try and look this out for you when I get home - home being central scotland. I visited Ireland a few years ago and paid my respects at the gravestone you mentioned.
