1851 Census McLean Family Glasgow

[MonicaL]

Some of the census entries (18451/51) I have seen for the William down in Cornwall, who married Fanny (Frances) Luke, put his birth year closer to 1820-1. Just about old enough if he shaved another couple of years off his age, and worth just keeping at the back of your mind, for him to have been Joseph's father.....or brother!

Did William Snr show up anywhere in Joseph's life down in Cornwall - thinking here as a sponsor on children's christenings etc. or anything else.

Struggling to see anything as yet for Joseph back in Scotland with a birth year 1835 +/- 3 years.

I have searched high and low for my McLean family in Cornwall within the 1841 and 1851 census only one I could find for 1851 was William McLean who later married Francis Luke . To be honest I can never recall having or seeing any details of William Senior showing up in Josephs life in Cornwall however I have not checked out possibility of William being a sponsor on any Grandchildrens Christenings  . I know of all the McLean in Camborne Redruth and Illogan having searched through all census details from 1851-1901 .My Joseph shows up in the first census with his wife Jane and Child William in the 1861 Census for Tolvaddon Illogan Area and as each child was born they were included .

You are right I noticed William McLean who married Francis Luke was slightly older than he should have been on the details you saw  , I have his death certificate in front of me it states he died 30th September 1910 aged 86 years old therefore birthdate would be 1824 . The records state he was a retired Coachman and died of Senile Decay Exhaustion ,informant was his son William McLean who lived in Plymouth Devon . Only 3 weeks later francis died so this William had to go through it all again poor chap ,it was at Francis funeral that I noticed on the obituary that those present were a William Mclean and Robert McLean and their wives and recorded as Nephews and Nieces .

regards .
