Tracing Kirk ancestors

I thought I’d try this through my WordPress medium, maybe someone out there might happen to come across it, and the contents touch a cord  😊 .

Three separate queries relating to the same family from Scotland

1. Robert Kirk [1746-1820] and Helen Somerville [1755 – ?]

They had , as far as I’m aware , four children  –

• Ebenezer Kirk [c 1780- c 1841] married Isobel King [1776-1851], had James, Helen, Catherine, James & Ebernezer;
• Margaret Kirk [c 1782 –  ], married Andrew Keltie, had at least 2 children, Andrew & Helen;
• James Kirk, married a Margaret Drummond; and
• William Kirk [my ancestor].

I’m seeking contact with family descendents of Ebenezer, Margaret & James.

2. William Kirk [1773-1858] and Margaret Littlejohn [1775 – 1855].
