I am looking for any information on my Great Great Grandfather Henry McLean.

He was born in Antrim, family history says Moneyglass, although not certain. around 1838.

He married Hannah Griffin in Aug 1854 in the Parish of Duneane.

He had a son born in Aug 1855 also in Duneane called Willian John McLean.

The 1871 Scottish census record has him in Glasgow, with 4 children all born in Ireland.

Hannah died in Glasgow in 1870.

He then disappears from the Scottish records, and one of his sons marriage cert in 1885 has him as deceased, but can't find death certificate, this is strange in Scotland as very particular.

He may have gone back to Ireland.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I am looking for any information regarding the birth or any family history of my Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother, Henry McLean & Hannah Griffin.

I have found a record of a marriage of the same in the Parish of Duneane in 1854, which I am quite sure is them.

My Family Folklore relates that they originally came from Moneyglass, which is in the Parish of Duneane, although have no proof of this.

They were Roman Catholic.  They movd to Glasgow arounf the mid 1860's where Hannah Died in 1870, and Henry disappears from any records.

Any help appreciated

the 1841 census gives his wife as margaret b 1816 in ireland,,,,children mary ann b 1838 and charles b 1840.

Yes Richard was dischagred in 1845, due to ill health.  He had served for 22 years so must have married in the army and had several children, but cannot find any other reference to them, he returns to Scotland and marries in 1846, but only takes his son William, do you know of any way to find these records/

Regards
