Help……!!!!

Has anyone completed the McLean family tree? Flexible on variation of surname.

I am stuck on the lives of John McLean and Mary McKenzie

I believe John was born between 1780 – 1785 or 1790 – 1795 uncertain of location, Mary was born about 1795/96 could be Barnyards, Beauly

It’s possible they married in the Parish of Urray, Ross & Crom 1821

The 1841 census shows them living in Peterhead, with a 10 year age gap for John & Mary

By 1851 Mary was a widow and shows her birthplace as Inverness-shire

John died 1847/8 aged 67 in Peterhead, his occupation was a Flesher/Butcher

I have gathered a list of McLeans buried in St Peters Churchyard, Peterhead, through Deceased Online. Also on the site I came across William McLean & Brothers, Baker (Occupation), who appear to own plots D307 – 309, Who is he? Is he related to John McLean, i.e. Brother or Father??

Where did this branch of the McLeans come from? I am hoping there might be a link to the Isle of Coll

Out of interest does anyone have any pictures of cemetery mentioned, especially plots D307 – 309.

Greetings from Texas, I have my Great Great Grandfather named John McLean b 1812   married to a Mary McKenzie b 1815. He was a calico printer, living at Blanefield. Strathblaine Village, Their son Malcolm McLean was my Great   Grand father            Joe Walker.

Dera Fianna, I am grasping at straws! My Laurence and Catherine Byrner left Dublin circa 1852 for Liverpool.  So far i know zero of my Dublin Byrne family!
Kind Regards, Joe walker
PS please keep me in mind, for the future, JWDW

Hi
James Walker was a Liverpool Pilot from 1813 until his death in 1837.
There is no mention of any Enslow's.
As far as Mariners and Sailors are concerned the research is far more complex.
A visit to the National Archives at Kew, London appears to be the only way to progress, unless you are willing to employ a researcher on your behalf.
If you visit www.mariners-l.co.uk that explains the process for researching Merchant Seamen from 1835, when records began.
I have been down this road recently and you can view my results under 'occupation' on this site entitled 'Voyage Records - NA - Is this correct?'
Hope this is of some herelp
Regards
Dave
Most appreciated, Joe Walker

Greetings from Texas, Any advice or help is most welcome and appreciated.Joe Walker

I have had partial information about my great great grand parents on my Grandmother's side for some time now but never could get over the hurdle to find out anything about them.

This is what I know:-

PATRICK   Nolan   b Waterford circa 1824 married an Anastatia.......................... b Wexford circa 1824
 They had the following Children:-

MaryAnn Nolan b 1852 Wexford
James Nolan b 1856 Waterford
William Nolan b1858 Wexford   
Patrick Nolan b1867 Liverpool
Margaret Nolan b1870 Liverpool

Funny enough there is a family story ( which so far does not hold water) Patrick b 1824 was supposed to have run away with the daughter of a well to do family
Tips, Facts and advice received humbly and with thanks.
Kind Regards ,Joseph Walker in San Antonio Texas

Dear sio59, I treied to research Laurence Byrne b1844 but the site said my credit card had been refused by the bank and that I had a zero balance.
I contacted the bank of my credit card and found that the search site had made four charges and all had been approved. I still have zero balance. Do yo have any way/assist  assisting me with a possible solution.kind Regards joe
