Thanks Forfarian, family convinced it was near Oban but doesn’t look like it. Oh well, will just leave the location out of my book.

Much the same as i found Alan, thanks. He was born in 1898, still at home in 1911, served with the Royal Engineers during WW1, and was teaching in Cardiff in 1921. Guessing sometime between 1911 and 1915?
Presumably a connection somewhere but no idea where...

Not sure, just trying to add some interesting snippets to my family book, rather than just the BMD info and census stuff. It appears that my grandfather and his brothers were sent away to Catholic college / boarding school in the hope that one of them would become a priest. One went to Waterford, one to St Marie's in Rugby, and one to somewhere in Scotland. His granddaughter recalls the name Dunstaffnage, and believes he called his house after the college. None of them became priests but they were teachers in Catholic schools.

Hi, anyone know of a Catholic school, or more likely a college, near Dunstaffnage? One of my grandfather's brothers (from Cardiff) supposedly went there - he named his house after it - but i can only find a ruined castle and chapel

What are the other surnames? Not finding Elizabeth Burn, or Jane Burn, with ages and surname variations, hence the question

Thanks Antony - will DM you. Won't solve the main puzzle - finding the birth mother - but i'm trying to explore all options.
