John McLAUCHLAN b Dunkeld

[meganmary]

Hi
I am looking for information on John McLauchlan born around 1831 near Dunkeld. This seems to be McLauchlan area. He migrated to Australia in 1870 and married a Catherine Smith. Have no other info on him Maybe a brother migrated also to New Zealand and was related to an Alexander McDonald- maybe his son. I am visiting Scotland in September and would love some leads.

Hi there Meganmary
Welcome to RootsChat
Would you have the death certificate from Australia for John.
It should have his parents names. This would be a big help.

Kind regards

I believe his father was Lauchlan and his mother Mary and he was born in 1835-I think Balnaguard

Thanks so much for this info- Coming to Scotland in September so I ant to try to catchup with any relations- any ideas on this?? I suppose tracking Donald or Grace, but I think both emigrated- Grace to New Zealand and maybe married a McDonald, and Donald I think to the Klondyke?
