By paternal bloodlines my Grandfather was David McLean apparently born in County Tyrone and aged 33 years when my Father Alan McLean was born in Lyttelton, New Zealand on 26 September, 1911...
David McLean married Elizabeth Johanna May at St Paul's in the Parish of Whitechapel, Middlesex on 13 August, 1905 - David's Father is named as 'Robert McLean - Platelayer' on the certified copy of the Marriage Certificate I have to hand...
David and Elizabeth emigrated to New Zealand on a Ship which as yet goes unidentified by the writer arriving in Lyttelton New Zealand in 1908 - their first child of four May Evelyn McLean was born in 1908...
It is appreciated I am likely 'looking for a needle in a haystack' but any information relating to Robert and David McLean in or about County Tyrone 1877/78 would be most appreciated; similarly information on the Ship the McLeans emigrated to New Zealand on (I am told Elizabeth was pregnant with their first born at the time) would be most appreciated, or otherwise advice as to where I may search seeking any available historical information...
David, Elizabeth Johanna and May Evelyn McLean are buried in a common grave at Karori Cemetery, Wellington, New Zealand...
Regards to All
