James McLean b. 1788 Kilbrandon d. 1856 Craignish
« on: Thursday 06 August 15 16:21 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information about the parents of a James McLean, who was born in Kilbrandon about 1788. I've reached a brick wall and in the small hope that someone has got further back I've listed what I know:

James McLean

Born: abt 1788, Kilbrandon, Argyll. (Death Cert lists parents as Neill McLean and Mary McLean nee McLean)
Married: Unknown date to Sarah (Marion) McLachlan who born at Auchnacraig, Torosay, Mull.
Died: 1856 Barrackan, Craignish, Argyll. Buried at Kilmelfort burial ground.

Known Children:
1. Mary McLean b. 29 Nov 1821, Auchnacraig, Torosay, Mull, Argyll.
2. Niel (Neil) McLean b. 24 Dec 1825, Kilmelfort, Argyll.
3. Mary McLean b. 1828 Kilmelfort, Argyll.
4. John McLean b. 1835 Kilbrandon, Argyll.

Census
1841 - Possibly listed as living at Black Mill Bay on the island of Luing, Kilbrandon, Argyll.
1851 - Listed as a Shepherd living at Barrackan in Craignish, Argyll.


Does anyone have information of this family further back? I can't seem to find a marriage record for James, nor a birth record for him either.
