Thank you for checking this. From his death record I have John born April 1848 with mother Anne Malcom. However, the info came from the same dau that gave Mull as pob and I have no other documentation to support it. I'll have to definately keep searching and see if I can reconcile the different data. The below would fit better with the census data from Kelton I found after this list steered me toward Dumfries yesterday. Alex suggested Mull of Galloway in an earlier email - what does "Mull" mean? As there are multiple uses of the word, it must refer to some geological feature?

Hi Lyn, The Kelton reference to me would point rather more to the Mull of Galloway rather than the Mull of Kintyre. The name "Mull" derives from Scottish Gaelic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language> : *Maol*, meaning a headland, signifying a jutting crag, promontory, brow of a hill or rock, and also baldness or bareness. The related derived noun refers to a land formation bare of trees, such as a rounded hill, summit, mountain or promontory. Good hunting.
