McLean COMPLETED
« on: Monday 28 February 11 22:08 GMT (UK) »
If anyone has information about a John or Allan McLean. I would like to know what happened to him.
I have a letter from him with the address as Matahiia Station dated Dec 20th 1878. 
This is a photo of who we believe to be John McLean.

Yes thank you Althea, I am the same one. Mackiwi posted a question on my behalf.  Since then I have reason to believe that the first name could be either John or Allan McLean.  If I'm on the right track there is a son called Roderick Coll McLean, born to Allan.  I have quite a bit of information about him, I just don't know if this is the correct McLean.
I had an answer from Jeremy Williams of Matahaii Station and they have no record of a McLean there during 1878, but tell me that many records were destroyed in a fire.
I tried to include a photo of a scan of John McLean taken in New Zealand, but couldn't manage to do it.

Hi Althea,
You are amazing! Thank you so very much!
Now in the information I have I've noticed 3 different spellings of Allan, but I don't suppose that is of any significance.
So assuming we have the right one, I have him married to Amelia Elizabeth and they had 1 son, Roderick Coll, and 1 daughter - she is listed on Roderick Coll's military records as A. McLean.
Is there anyway of finding out where Allan came from in Scotland, how old he was in 1885, and when he died?
Again, many thanks.

if you can afford to get some certificates they may be of use in confirming many details..of course depending on year then information contained on the printour will vary.

Intention to marry for Allan may give some idea length of time in NZ

We need to find his death/burial..tht cert would be helpful I'm sure one of the readers will spot it

So many mentions for Allan McKenzie..big landowner, should be in Cyclopedia.On son's school record they are living a Nuhaka
Allan is A JP Wairoa area...again trap being there are many other Allan McL's in NZ but seemsssssssssssss to be only one in this province

Before gathering anymore info, would guess we need to track back and look for confirmation.
Will go and see what can be found for death

Lots of entries here is one example at the HAWKES BAY GENEALOGY site
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzlhawke/

1875 return of sheepholders there is an Allan McLean

they would be worth a contact as local books on the area may have all the answers you need
