Mary Ann McSween/Swan
« on: Saturday 01 March 08 23:01 GMT (UK) »
Further to my earlier posting,I am advised that the name should be McSween.The family I am researching were living in Portree Inverness in 1841 and 1851.Mary McSween is aged 8 in 1841 and 1851 she was 18.
Her father Allan must have died between Census.
The family of mother and five children came to Australia on "New Zealander" arriving Portland Harbour Victoria Nov 1853 under the name McSween.Apparently she used the name Swan at the registration of the birth of several children in Victoria.
Can anyone please help with a death/burial of Allan McSween in Portree between 1841 and 1851?

This does not give a direct connection but McSween & McQeen are near to interchangeable apparently.  An individual called Swan McQueen is in the IGI records for Inverness Parish of Petty about 1724.

Thank you suin.
I think they eventually settled on McSwan but the variations made them difficult to locate initially.
