Dumfriesshire / John Hall - Dumfries

Hi
At last I have my first Scottish Ancestor my 3rd Great Grandfather John Hall born 1795 in Dumfries. He states this on all Census transcriptions I have seen not just entering Scotland as most do. Never having ventured past the border whilst researching I am now at a standstill
He married a Ann Harle in Newcastle in Jun 1823 and produced 3 little Halls and was a Customs Officer/Tide Waiter from at least 1841 till 1871
Can anyone help me on finding his parents or pointing me in the right direction, I have spent a fair amount of time googling and checking a lot of Dumfries links and come up with a blank.
Any help/hints/tips would be appreciated
