Many thanks Steve: The one over in Mishnish is half-brother of the one in Midlothian!! Well, the ages and names fit, and the surname is not exactly common. Thank you for the 1891 entry for Andrew - I didn't spot that when trawling the other evening and tying myself in proverbial knots. Will follow it up - seems his incarceration was long-term and probably not industrial illness!
