Looking for info on John MacLean born c.1806 on Isle of Raasay. He married a Catherine before 1837.
Very grateful for any help,
Gollygee

Moscan,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it's not my John MacLean. Mine is definitely on Raasay but may be listed under the parish of Portree.

Have had another look, and have found 3 John McLean's... no MacLeans at all, but thats probably a transcription error...

Hi Mo,
Right on the button!!!!
The first extract is the one I was looking for.
Born/Christened 29 Apr 1801 MCLEAN JOHN
Father - NORMAN MCLEAN
Mother - CHRISTY MCLEOD
I'd been told his mother was a McLeod and the names Norman and Christy both turn up in several following generations.
Many thanks.
