sorry, scrap all that I just found David Dairon on a family history page http://mackenzie.nimiety.org/individual.cgi?id=@I11238@ and apparently he was born in Glasgow. Haven't a clue why he married in Argyll.

Maybe married in his wife's native parish. I checked the UK Telephone Directory. There are four Dairon entries; two in Argyll, one in Dunblane, and a stray English representative in Swindon.
The French forum looks like a dead-end. No replies yet.

I gave up too soon. M. Jean Tosti has replied to my query, informing that the French surname Dairon derives from the commune of Ayron in the department of Vienne. The place name is Gaulish, and means something like "forward defence".

I'd given up too, I'm glad I checked back. Thank you for your help and please thank M. Tosti too. It's good to finally have an answer.
