I am researching a McLean family who came to Kintyre from Ireland about 1838.
Duncan (born 1785) was a carter and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) McLachlan born 1801.
Dates are approximate.
In the 1841 census they lived at Fleming's land (see notes elsewhere on this forum). Their children were
Andrew born 1823
Catharine 1829
Hugh 1833
Elizabeth 1835 all in Ireland
Martha born 1838
Christian born 1840 both Argyllshire
Son Charles '20' was an agricultural labourer at Darloclan, home of Archibald Stewart, farmer
In later life, Charles and Hugh became fishermen. I have some information on Charles and his descendants, but very little on other family members.
It would be very useful to know which part of Ireland they came from.
Can anyone add anything?
