Boyd, I have had the same problem of erroneous birth places in US data.  I
found that sometimes rather than explain where they came from the immigrants
pick a larger better known place.  For example my Great Uncle Andrew Wright
told his children he was born in Dromore, County Tyrone as stated in his
Obituary.  His birth record shows he was actually Born in Ballynafeagh,
County Tyrone.  This also happened with my Italian grandparents.
