If anyone has access to the 1841 - 1871 census would they be kind enough to look up Margaret McLean born 1821 Boharm
Had her address as Newfield; Boharm in 1881
Her father was Lewis McLean born Knockando, Moray
Thank you

hi jane, i too are struggling to find your margaret on the 1841 census, can you put up the details of the 1881 census and hopefully some kind soul can work back from there.
on the 1841 cenus there is 16 people at newfield but no maclean among them.
what i have done is a little research into margaret and found:
lewis maclean married isabel kiel, their banns were read twice, firstly at huntley, aberdeen on the 29/7/1804 and then on the 9/8/1804 at boharm.
maclean children of the marriage
john-1805
james-1808
david-1810
elizabeth-1812
william-1814
helen-1816
wilmina-1818
margaret-5/10/1820
isobel-1/9/1822
mary-27/5/1827
seems that lewis was born 1766 boharm, son of john and helen stewart.

hi jane,
i could not help myself, i had to find out who the parents of isabella munro and james shand were? also alexander dow?
well there is extracts on the igi's that say that alexander dow was the son of helen mclean and alexander dow, cannot find a marriage for them, young alexander was born on the 12/9/1836 boharm.
as for isabella munro, she was the daughter of margaret mclean and alexander munro, she was born 2/6/1844 at boharm, cannot find a marriage for the parents.
i did find a marriage later for margaret mclean which ties up with james shand on the 1861 census. margaret mclean married james shand in urquhart 14/12/1860 but oor john shand was born 9/7/1852 boharm!!!
then went on to have
jessie shand...4/12/1861 in rothes, moray
williamina shand...15/3/1864 edinkillie, moray
this wee bit confuses me as she is noted as being unmarried on the 1861 census!!!
let's hope that some kind soul will put up the 1871 census, we will also find out if isabella who was aged 75 in the 1861 census made it into 1871.
the jessie jack who is on the 1861 census is the daughter of christina shand, who maybe the sister of james...who knows?
always searching

OK Here's who is living at Newfield in 1871!
John McLean,head,unmarried,aged 64, Farmer of 50 acres, Born Boharm
Helen McLean,sister,unmarried,aged 49, Dom Servant,Born Boharm
Margaret McLean,sister,unmarried, aged 45,General Servant, Born Boharm
Isabella Munro,niece,unmarried,aged26, Dom Servant,Born Boharm
Jessie Jack,niece, aged 15, scholar, Born Boharm
John Shand,nephew,unmarried,aged18, Ag Lab, Born Boharm.
No Isabella aged 85 to be found. Guess she has popped her clogs.
Margaret McLean is still here, unmarried!!!
I guess the marriage of Margaret McLean and James Shand in Urquhart and their kids born in Rothes and Edinkillie are not oors!!!

I have just noticed this thread and would just like to add that Charles McLean b.1777 younger brother of Lewis was my 3xGGF. I also have their parents as John McLean & Helen Stewart but can't find parents of John. Do you have any information on them?
Tentatively I have Helen's parents as George Stewart (b.1653?) & Elspat McKimmie (1701) from Rothes. There is only the one George on SP but it puts him at 68 when he married Elspat who was 24 at the time of the marriage; his parents were James Stewart & Elspet Duncane c.1630.
Elspet McKimmie's parents were George McKimmie & Marjorie Grant c.1675.
I can give you my tree down from Charles if you are interested.
Regards,
Alastair

Much to my surprise I see this thread is my family. :o
Margaret McLean born Boharm 1820 is my 2 x gt grandmother. Margaret had 3 children, Alexander Dow, Isabella Munro and Jessie Jack. Jessie Jack is my great grandmother. I have much more information on this family and would be happy to share information.
I am particularly interested in finding where these researchers fit into the family equation.
