AllanWD:

I have only one Fulton lead.  Mary McKenna married a brother of my great-grandfather, John Cairns, December 22, 1877 in Johnstone, Renfrewshire.   Mary's parents were George McKenna and Mary Fulton (McKenna).

John Cairns, along with his mother and siblings, came from the Gilford, County Down area sometime in the early to mid 1870's and lived in the Johnstone/Kilbarchan villiages.  John owned a bootmaking shop in Houston Square for many years 19th and early 20th centuries.  Like you, I wonder if there were relatives in the area or if it was just employment that drew the family to the area.

You might try Scotland's People for the marriage record of George McKenna and Mary Fulton.  The death record for Mary might also give you a clue about her parents and birth place.
