Re: Keggeen and Gawn/ Quirk and Cubbon

Per LDS, Ann Quirk christened German 30 December 1838, parents John Quirk and Isabella Kaighen.

1841 census Ballavaish German Ho107/1463/7 folio 9 page 12
John Quirk 65 farmer
Margaret Quirk 65
John Quirk 31
Isabella Quirk 25
Elizabeth Quirk 30
Ann Quirk 20
Eliza Quirk 4
Ann Quirk 2
Eliza Quirk 4 months
John Quine 15 MS
Thomas Quine MS
Esther Gick 6
Note that in 1841, ages of adults were rounded down to a multiple od 5, so John and Margaret could have been 69 in June of 1841.
This gives likely birth years of 1770-1775.
This should narrow down the candidates.
