Hello Janet,

All three locations are on the Isle of Mull, I know it can be confusing if
seen from outside.

Three seperate records of My Great grandfather had, Mull, Ross and
Ardalanish and of course all were right. That was actually before I
discovered the census where he lived in a different location on the Ross of
Mull each time.

Kind regards
