Milne in Scotland - a bit like Smith everywhere else. It is an extremely common name, making it a tricky one to research. Or at least that has been my experience. Mine are from the Lonmay area of Aberdeenshire and even narrowing down the area still left me floundering.

Just a bit of probable useless info for you, but Re the name Milne,here in the area where I live Aberdeenshire they tend to drop the N & pronounce this name as Mill.
Being a Yks girl it took me ages to realise.

Just a thought, could the 'n' at the end be soft sounding and trailed off, so appearing to be silent.  :o
