I think you'll have to persevere with the spellings. I know about some of the forms that McLennan can come out as  One of my ancestors married one!
I am pretty convinced that, had John been born on Harris, he would have said so rather than 'Inverness'.
The Islanders are a proud bunch.
Good luck

Hi Gadget,
I have tried all English census from 1861 backwards for John McLennan.
The only one I came up with was, John McClelland, b abt 1835, Scotland. Lodger. Liverpool. Not very conclusive, but couldn't find trace of any other !!

If it's any help, my McLennan's (from KKD) were referred to as McClellan on one census.
Does this person figure in any of the subsequent censuses or even BMD records? If not, he might well be a possible.

Hi Gadget,
I can't find this John McClelland on subsequent census. But then I can't find my John McLennan anywhere on the 1871 census either, even though I know he's there !! I have tried every spelling I can think of, have even put the wifes name in.
Does BMD have Scottish ppl on, I thought it was just English and Welsh.

No you have to use Scotlandspeople or IGI or various other local sources for Scottish BMDs/OPRs. Ancestry has some old parish records but the search facility on their Parish and Probate is dire

Just thought I would update you with my progress on this family. Well, I have hit a brick wall I'm afraid! I am toying with the idea of paying someone to find me John's family. And, I hope one day to visit the area. But until then i will have to do my research from this end.
I just wanted to thank you all for helping me.
Cheers,
Red

Hi Gadget,
no, I havn't given up !!! I still can't find him. Which records office would keep Inverness records for that period. I'm thinking of paying a visit after Christmas.
If I ordered his death certificate would that give me any further info on him?

But there's always Scotlands People for at a distance searching:
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
It's pay to view but fairly cheap and you can be quite canny about it. But I did do thorough searches on there for him already.

You know I think the spelling of the surname is the problem. And that's why we can't find him. I have also looked on Scotlandspeople from 1841 through to 1871. And I have looked on English census from 1841 to 1871. Nothing !!! He has to be somewhere. He only turns up at his wedding in 1869. Not on 1871 census, but I can find him on English census for 1881, 1891 and 1901. All different spellings !
I have tried all the spellings I can think of, but must missing the correct one !!
I am stumped as to what to try next.
Thanks again,
Red

Gadget, can you answer this one !!
Was Knockbain in Inverness in 1838, and then changed borders, to Ross and Cromarty, sometime before 1861?

Hi Red
I've had computer probs so have only been coming on for very short spells and not looking at much at at all. I'm fixed now
Could you give me the 1891 Census reference and I'll have a look.
There aren't any other Inverness places in the UK though.
