Would appreciate any help/views on the attached 1871 Dalkeith Census record.  Record number 11 (Peter Cairney) where born is unrecognisable (looks like Africa) but it wasn't.    Similarly record number 3 is also indistinguishable to me (looks like Audia) but I doubt it....

sonofthom, his parents are showing as being from Cavan, Ireland.  His sister who is 3 or 4 years older is also showing as Cavan Ireland.  I haven't been able to locate any Irish records which confirm any of this.  Records of 1800 - 1830's seem to be few & far between and the spelling of the surname seems to change somewhat as well...... :)

Peter Cairney (General Labourer) - place of birth:
1841 census has Ireland,
1851 census has Glasgow Lanarkshire,
1861 census has Glasgow Lanarkshire,
1881 census has Glasgow Lanarkshire.

1871 - Africa seem improbable.
