Do you know what religion they were?
I found a possible for George in 1901, and he is methodist.

Link to the family (as McLane) on the 1851 census
Daniel McLean and Mary Allen are buried in Lower Litchfield Cemetery along with
Daniel Thomas McLean d. at 47 years Feb 16, 1889 (?). The year is hard to read.

There is also a George in the same cemetery d. Dec 21, 1880 age 35. A possibility for husband to the widowed Elizabeth Stewart and father of George William and Arthur Roy??

Neil McLean in 1881 is 30, a forester and living in Pontiac County Quebec
In 1891 this is probably Neil married to Jessie and with daughter Effie Pearl

cosmac - thank you for sending me those marriage details.
andarah - the McLeans were presbyterians. I think George died before 1881 census
Debbie - thanks for grave info, this could be George I am looking for as Elizabeth was a widow on 1881 census.
Thank you all.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~snaylor/QueMark/Pontiac/Litchfie/LitchUn/LITCHUN.HTM
This site answer says there was a John born to the couple although that one seems to have gone to Saskatchewan...http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=12220&p=localities.northam.canada.quebec.general
Their marriage apparently says David McLean and Mary Allen.. the Scottish did use Donald as interchangeable with Daniel, but not for David as far as I know...You'll need to look into all that to prove he is yours......

I entered my introductory topic on this line of McLeans....just figured out how to reply. I am Effie Pearl McLean's granddaughter. I titled my entry like this one....Effie married Joseph Crowe in 1911 and had 3 children: my dad, Louis Archibald; my aunt, Vivien Patricia; and my uncle Lloyd Ivan. My dad married in 1949; I (Bernice May) was born in 1950 and my brother (Donald Brent) in 1953. I have two daughters and two granddaughters. Most interested in finding out more! ;D

Effie Pearl McLean was organist for United Church in Rossland BC and gave piano lesson to help support her family, as her second husband had passed away in 1924.
