Colin....Did William have any other Brothers/Sisters that you know of...?
I have checked the Co. Down as the Maxwell surname was very prevelant there but cant find a connection with a "Keith"....Greer ..yes..! When is the earliest you find the family over in Scotland..........?

Did he have any children born in Scotland? If so, the birth reg should have the date and place of his marriage.

Can you double check 1851 census image to see if William was a "Trunk" Maker (not a "Frank" Maker as transcribed above)
