Can anyone give me a hint as to where my gg-grandfather may have come from? He was Hugh DEANS. Every piece of information that I on him says his birthplace was "Ireland". In 1881 he was in Darvel, Ayr, Scotland, married to Margaret [Young] with six children. He was a weaver. He was still alive in 1909 and living in Ayrshire. Is the DEANS surname more common in any part of Ireland? He has been a difficult line to search. Thank you in advance for any help.
