Alastair, I don't have anything direct to help you, but I would be interested in keeping in touch with your research. Connected to my McNabb family, I have three generations of McKellars with multiple Peters and Archibalds. All three generations migrated from Islay to Ontario, Canada some time between 1849 and 1861, including a Peter a few years older than yours, and his grandfather Peter. They clearly do not match your family, but if you are able to determine the parents of your Peter we might find your family and mine were cousins.
