I can't find him in the Censuses but Keith is in Banffshire, not that that helps much.

Thanks Emeltee.

1917
... He was 82 years of age on August 9th last ...
... After a few years spent at sea he visited New Zealand, and subsequently came to New South Wales in 1860 ??. ...

He named his residence 'Huntley' and there is a Huntly SE of Keith. ??

Thanks Geoff.

Don't know how long he was in NZ but that could be him.

He could have been a seaman on ships between NZ and Australia.

Thanks Geoff.

There could be several like that with different vessels.

Getting way off a main line. This connects to Perdriau.
