Can anyone help with any information on a James McLaren born 1863 in Amulree, nr Dunkeld? Went to London as a boy. Why did he leave his parents so young? Father name is James (as was so common). I cannot trace back further.

I was wondering if anyone remembers a James McLaren, superintendant of Spurgeons orphanage when it went it went to Wray Park, Reigate during  WWII and in particular the "scandal" surrounding his resignation and others, mentioned in the House of Commons in 1943. He was my grandfather. Can anyone shed more light on the circumstances?
