From an ancestry tree - may be the source of information
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/109173754/person/360069912373/facts?ssrc=
Birth [John Robertson]
27 Sep 1870 • Riccarton, Ayrshire
Reputed father Hugh Brown, coal miner, as per marriage record. John was about 6 months old on the 1871 census taken April 2, 1871. His birth appears to have been registered as "Hugh Wilson".
1871 [Hugh Brown] Residence Riccarton, Ayrshire, Scotland
Relation to Head of House: Stepson; Likely father of John Brown Robertson. Age, occupation and proximity to Janet Wilson
According to this tree this WAS the John Robertson who married Grace Hutchison. Would be interested to see any "Hugh Wilson" birth certificate

according to Family search there is a birth of Hugh Wilson born on 27 Sep 1870 to Janet Wilson no father in Riccarton

Also I have been trying to find a place called Minrihire

To be honest Minrihire looks as though it could be a mistranscription  have you seen the original document?

Dumfries but could be ayrshire, as on another part of the tree there are two possibles of birth from info I have one is Minrihire and the other Glencairn,

What info is it you have? Is this a tree on ancestry, yours or someone else's? Might need to follow up on their sources. Wendy's leads look good, worth following up.

The info I had was from 1861 census for William Rorison. Kilk place. I have other census but they all say Glencairn, so am guessing now it was a mistake of some kind when taken.

That looks spot on, I did see that Glencairn kept terrible records. Brilliant thanks.

Glad that's sorted & I  hadn't noticed it was a separate query  . It may be KIRK Place mistranscribed on ancestry not KILK Place. I don't have any SP credits to check original.
