Link to the family (as McLane) on the 1851 census

Daniel McLean and Mary Allen are buried in Lower Litchfield Cemetery along with
Daniel Thomas McLean d. at 47 years Feb 16, 1889 (?).  The year is hard to read.

There is also a George in the same cemetery d. Dec 21, 1880 age 35.  A possibility for husband to the widowed Elizabeth Stewart and father of George William and Arthur Roy??

Neil McLean in 1881 is 30, a forester and living in Pontiac County Quebec
In 1891 this is probably Neil married to Jessie and with daughter Effie Pearl

cosmac - thank you for sending me those marriage details.
andarah - the McLeans were presbyterians. I think George died before 1881 census
Debbie - thanks for grave info, this could be George I am looking for as Elizabeth was a widow on 1881 census.
Thank you all.
