Hi Wendy. Robert McGarva (born 1826 in Down) was my 3X Gt Grandfather too. Robert and Elizabeth Wither's son Robert Alexander McGarva born in 1855 and married Margaret Anderson. They had Martha Annie McGarva in 1891. Martha went to Canada to visit family (loads of family over there) and came back pregnant with my Grandfather Robert born in 1917 in Wigtownshire.
