Their children may have been a William in 1756 - https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=R_893911178
Hannah in 1752 - https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=R_893913482

William's son Robert Kirkby in a 1756 Will Probate (aged 19) mentions "Cragg, Underbarrow" as his residence and occupation as "tailor" - https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBOR%2FLANCASHIRE%2FPROBATE%2F027693
This could well be High Cragg.

This also lines up with our William (b.1745) renting High Cragg for 6 years (pre-1785) then buying High Cragg in 1784. (see notes on High Cragg property)
