Yes I've a lot of information on Roderick Coll McLean


Hello....Apologies if I'm re-inventing the wheel. Just going off what's in the thread so far.

Quote from: Powerhouse

they both name their sister.


Did the sister shorten her name to Albane and is she the Albane McLEAN mentioned in the electoral rolls for the West Coast and later the East Cape?


Quote from: Powerhouse

It's odd that neither of them name each other as next of kin on their death certificates


If you're referring to the Army Service records I think next of kin had to be a civilian. Unless you meant death certificate in which case next-of-kin is listed by (normally) the informant.

Beg you are a gem
I had struck a brickwall with Bredalbane, so what you suggest makes perfect sense  ;D

So do you think it looks likely that parents are either dead or left country when WWI details taken???

Not sure to be honest. Would love to know if the 1928 burial at Gisborne cemetery and the 1928 probate for the Gisborne sheep farmer are tied into the original poster's Allan McLEAN.

McLEAN Allan - Pehiri - Sheep Farmer d. 1928

No sign of Amelia though. Am hoping to visit the library this afternoon so I'll check the obvious 1871 birth and see if a district is mentioned. Maybe she was buried where she was born.

Regards
Beg

In Roderick Coll's military records 1916 he has both his parents listed as deceased. Father born in Scotland, mother born in Australia.
In Roderick Coll's marriage document 1949, to his second wife he has his mother's name listed as Amelia Elizabeth Williamson, Formerly McLean, maiden name McCready.
Looks like Amelia married twice???

Thank you Lucy 2. Now we can look for Amelia Williamson. The plot thickens!

Hi Powerhouse

Just also spotted a Probate record - with a Greymouth connection ?

WILLIAMSON - Amelia Elizabeth, Runanga - w/o William R. Williamson  -  Year 1912

[Greymouth Court - file at Archives NZ, Christchurch. ]

Now need to check BDM for death of this Amelia.
