Another thought to consider - not all records survive or are complete and so there may have been McKinnons in Ayrshire, but no written proof.  :-\

How very true. It is amazing how much is available on line but it is only the tip of the iceberg. I feel there may be a trip to the archives in the offing.  Alan

My English 2x great grandfather had the name William Sigsworth Parvin. He married in Paisley in 1870 with that name but by 1871 he had dropped the Parvin and now had the surname Sedgeworth, apparently because of the Durham accent he had. There were no Sedgeworths in Scotland prior to this at all.

Having done family history for years I've definitely learned not to get hung up on surname spellings lol.
