Daniel McMillan was born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland c 1780. His parents were John McMillan and Margaret Reid. I’m trying to establish marriage details of John and Margaret and if they had any other offspring.
I guess that McMillan could also have been McMullen or Mullen.

Daniel married Mary McKelvie in Ardrossan, Ayrshire in 1818 and they had at least 8 children. He died in April 1866 in Croft Street, Kilmarnock.

Appreciate any assistance. (David in Aberdeen, Scotland)

Only working from Scottish census info. Gives birthplace once as Londonderry and once as Derry.

No father's occupation on death record, Daniel himself was a muslin weaver.

Expect denomination as Presbyterian as children married in Church of Scotland

I have searched Rootsireland. The only glimmer I found was the Burial Record for a John Reid Mullan, aged 81, on 5th Feb 1863. The address was given as Ballymacilcorr, Maghera, Co Derry. Denomination Presbyterian. He could be a possible brother to Daniel.

Thanks for assistance
