Thanks for the kind offer.  I visted the Churchyard recently but did not have a chance to do a complete search due to wind, rain and dark.  I would be interested to know if there are any DEVLIN and McGAFFNEY surnames that I might have missed.  I found one for PATRICK DEVLIN and MARY McGAFFNEY along with their children - Thomas, Patrick and Agnes.  Are there any others? 

Best regards,
Sean

Hi Sean
Lair 176 - the one you found, also has on it: Edward devlin MBADT died 1 feb 1955 aged 85 and Peter J Devlin died 31 march 1978 aged 69.

Lair 215 - Charles Devlin died Annbank 5 march 1941 aged 79. his wife margaret n foster died annbank 9 sept 1944 aged 86. their dau ellen died 26 march 1954 aged 61.

lair 479 - in memory of Robert Devlin d 25 may 1982 aged 64 dearly loved nephew of the family;
Daniel C Donohoe died 22 jan 1985 aged 89 dearly loved husband of Elizabeth Devlin.

lair 480 - James Devlin died 4 august 1979 beloved husband of jessie McPhee; also their son Kenneth died as an infant.

That is the only McGaffney (the one you found) memorial in tarbolton churchyard. Do you know there is a more modern cemetery just outside the village? Along Montgomerie St, past the Black Bull PH, and after a while the road forks to the left and a wee bit further on the newer cemetery is on the left. McGaffney is still a name in the village and so is Devlin.

Hope these entries help you in your searches.
best wishes

Thank you for the incredibly fast response and the addition of several names to my records.   Unfortunately I did not know that there was a second village cemetery and only visited the older one while on a trip there from my home in the US in early January of this year.  My records include a dozen or so other Devlins who were born in Tarbolton,  but I have not made contact with any from the village.  Do you know of any Devlins in the area who would be interested in sharing family history?  If so, please feel free to put them in touch with me.  Thanks again.

Hi
Glad the memorials helped. Sorry, I'm not in the village any longer - moved to a new parish - but still got the book!
