Hi everyone,
I wondered if anyone could help me with some brick walls I have in my tree for my x3 great grandparents based in Avoca, Wicklow.
I’ve traced them back from my x2 great grandparents James Byrne & Margaret Robinsons records who both died in Scotland but were both born/baptised in Avoca, Wicklow.
—————
x2 Great Grandparents details:

Margaret Robinson 1852 Baptism - 22 Aug 1852

Both Died 1934: Kilsyth, Scotland
To break everything up a bit I have made a post here:

I’ve tried to keep this as brief as possible but I’ve had my head in records for a few days now and could use fresh eyes!
I've also attached a text document that includes links to the records above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
