Title: Macleans on Benbecula
Post by: Rdmclure on Wednesday 25 January 17 12:30 GMT (UK)
"Lulan" passenger list 1848 shows Macleans,
Hugh 46
Jessie 46
Marion 14
Catherine 12
Donald 8
Mary 6
according to their family tree they were from Dunganachy,
Benbecula but I can't find them in the 1841 census.

1841 Dunganachy

All surname MacLean & all born in County

Donald 80
Catherine 80
Ewen 35 (Hugh)
Marion 35
Janet 8 (Jessie)
Effy 6
Catherine 3
Donald 2 months

From looking at both, it's possible that Marion & Janet (Jessie) have been mixed up?

Effy not on the 'Lulan' possibly died?
Mary not born until after 1841

Thanks Annie,
good catch. I was looking for a much older Jessie and a much younger Marion.
I am not sure why I couldn't find Hugh

Rod,

The reason is 'Hugh' is recorded as Ewen on 1841

Hugh is 1 of many variants of the name Ewen/Ewan.

It may be easier now to locate them using Donald (who appears to be his father)?
