I have a copy of the 1901 census for Newcastle upon Tyne, for Catherine Burke (wife) aged 35. Her birthplace is Scotland but I can not decipher the place in Scotland. Can anyone help?

Could be a mis-spelling of Killin, Stirlingshire? Her accent may have made it sound as Keln.

Do you have her maiden surname?

Researching:

Hi Rootgatherer,

I am waiting for her daughter lillian's b cert for further details. Unfortunately I am not sure of Catherines maiden name, it could be Crawford based on details on freeBMD.
