Samuel, Elizabeth and 5 children are (John not one of them) on the 1901 Irish census which you can view here:

On the 1911 Irish census Samuel & Elizabeth have been married 41 years. There is this marriage on scotlandspeople:


GALLOWAY SAMUEL
Spouse details Elizabeth Lightbody
1869
898/ 16
16
Stoneykirk

Both give Wigtownshire as their POBs and Stoneykirk is in Wigtownshire.

If you register with scotlandspeople and buy credits, you will be able to view and download the image of the marriage, which will give you both their parents' names.

If you trace the family back through the censuses, it appears that Samuel b 1846's grandfather was Alexander and that he was born in Ireland.
