I wonder if "Culton" might be a mis-transcription of "Calton"? There is a Calton at the north end of Campbeltown on the Kintyre peninsula. The Gazetteer at http://www.old-maps.co.uk is really useful for this - you can scroll through lists of place names, and look for something that is similar to the name you have. Then you can either view the location on the old maps on that website, or go to http://www.streetmap.co.uk and look for the same place on a modern map. It's not foolproof of course, but it's a useful resource when you're trying to find a town or village and you're not sure if you've got quite the right spelling. :-) Hope that helps...

I am a new subscriber to the list and am searching for my direct ancestor Robert Fraser according to the 1881 census was born approx. 1832 in Culton, Argyll, Scotland. I have not been able to find a town called Culton. Does anyone know of Culton and/or the Frasers there? I know that my Robert Fraser married Marion Robb of Kirkconnel, Dumfries, Scotland in 1867 in Tradeston Glasgow. > > Many Thanks. > > Melissa Buckley > USA > > > ==== SCT-ARGYLL Mailing List ==== > ********************************************************************** > Need an LDS film number to order a film at your local LDS library?
