Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I have ancestors born in Wooden Mill Kelso, I thought at the time that it was a mistake and should have been Woollen Mill but there are more than one BCs with Wooden

No, no mistake. Though it was, as it happens, a woollen mill.
