Splendid! I wonder if that might be a good place to look for his mother? A local but different birth suggests 'going home to mum' to me!

His name was John Mckinlay (though its spelt Mckinley on the 1901 England census) and apart from knowing he was born c 1878 in Thornlebank, thats all I've got- will that be enough to search on if I get some credits, or am I on 'needle in a haystack' territory?

That sound extremely likely. Many thanks indeed.
Where do I look next for records of him?

Hello! I'm new to the board- so bear with me if I'm in the wrong bit. I'm on the trail of my great grandfather, who was a McKinlay (poss also spelt McKinley??), who, according to the 1901 English census when he was in Hampshire, listed his birthplace as Thornahonk, Scotland. According to Google, there isnt such a place. Can anyone shed any light for me?
Many thanks indeed.
