Title: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Tuesday 04 December 18 15:24 GMT (UK)
Hi all, I've been trying to research the McLean line of my family unsuccessfully for years, couldn't get past my granddad's death certificate. Very recently had a breakthrough, but hit another dead end. Appealing for help with:

George McLean (born November 1930, married Beryl Taylor of Lincoln, died 1997. Children Marilyn, Beverly, and Kevin McLean)

George McLean (born 1898 approx., married Annie Wood Rice, 1920, Glasgow - divorced 1958 - children George, John, and James McLean, all born around Glasgow. Affiliated with butchery. Died 1971.)

James McLean (born 1861 approx., married Mary Ann Cameron Scott, dressmaker, on 1882, Glasgow. Children including George [above], James Joseph [married Elizabeth McIlhorne, widow, 1920, Glasgow]. Lived at 222 Church Street, Glasgow. Can't make out his parents' names, father looks to Patrick McLean, mother may be Ann-Jane or something similar with a long but indiscernible maiden name)

Realise this is quite a long shot, but I'm getting a bit desperate.

Any help much appreciated!

Hi and welcome from me as well
Can you post a snippet of the parents names that you are having problems with someone may be able to read it
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Tuesday 04 December 18 17:32 GMT (UK)
Here is the section containing the groom and his parents' details.

So far I've made out:
27th March at ___ Chapel, Glasgow
James McLean (21), Hammerman, Bachelor
Signed by someone called Oswald Rothwell/Bothwell
222 Castle Street, Glasgow
What seems to be Patrick McLean, tailor journeyman
Perhaps Ann-Jane McLean? Maiden surname beginning Mc but I can't make the rest out at all.

I think the mothers name is McGam? deceased it is a poor quality you can email Scotlands People for a better resolution and they will email one back to you at no extra cost have you found James in any census as can't see a possible birth in Scotland I am wondering if he was born in Ireland and came over to Scotland at some point

Post by: OutlandMcLean on Tuesday 04 December 18 18:33 GMT (UK)
Haven't found any records of him yet, no. With his dad's name being Patrick, and the spelling being the Irish variant, I did wonder if James had come to Glasgow looking for work.
Ahh (deceased) would explain the impossibly long name, thank you!

I wouldn't set much store by spelling variants. I have McLean ancestry with various spellings in 19th century. The family members who could read and write were consistent with spelling and they wrote McLean. I believe their origin to be Scottish although there's a chance they might have been from Ireland.

I thought this, but coupled with 'Patrick' and no Scottish records to be found, I am wondering if they're Irish.

in the 1901 census there is a possible Mclean family in Renfrew
James age 25
Mary age 23
John age 5
Mary age 3
George age 1
although the ages are way out its the only one I can find

Think the ages are a bit out there, as James was born in 1861, married in 1882 at age 21, so he'd be 40-odd in 1901.

There is another possibility James age 40 also in Renfrew with children
Jessie 14
James 12
George 9
Mary 7
john 3
which is 7 years  to old for George and the wife is Annie possibly Mary going by her second name

Could James' mother's maiden name possibly be McCann?

There are a number of Irish births post the start of official registration in 1864 for children to a Patrick Mclean and Ann Jane McCann. Images for births for three of their children, Catherine 1864, Mary 1866 and Patrick 1868 show here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

The problem is...the father Patrick on these entries is showing as a labourer not a tailor  :-\

Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: MonicaL on Tuesday 04 December 18 21:39 GMT (UK)
Once things are clearer, one death that might be worth thinking of is in Glasgow/High Church area:

Ann Jane McLean other name McCann, aged 43 died in 1870. Mother's maiden name Nugent.

As you know with SP, you don't know until you look which way round the surnames are for married women ie married surname v. maiden name.

Have you got James' death reg? Always good to check names and details from another cert.

All very helpful thank you. I think the second census record might be them, dates seem to match up, though the address is a little out of the way for what I know of them (they tend to be concentrated in the Garngadhill/Govan area). That death record is also a possibility, I can't make out her name properly so McCann is entirely plausible.
No death record for James, no. Spent the last of my credits looking but to no avail.

They might be family. Can you give details for bride. 
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Wednesday 05 December 18 09:47 GMT (UK)
Thanks Wendy, that Annie might be one of James and Marth Anne’s children, named after his mother.

Here is the rest of the marriage certificate. Witnesses are Jane Shields and Michael Kelly, so they don’t look to be related, hence why I wondered if the family might be back in Ireland.

What children do you have for James McLEAN and Mary Ann Cameron SCOTT, married 1882?

 * George b about 1898 

 * James Joseph [married Elizabeth McIlhorne, widow, 1920, Glasgow].
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Wednesday 05 December 18 11:03 GMT (UK)
Oh wow, thank you so much. That would suggest that Patrick married again, and they had older children if they have a granddaughter with the surname in 1881. I only have George and James for definite so far, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were more. I'd assume an older son because of the granddaughter, Ann (unless she's illegitimate, from a daughter).

If this is Patrick Snr in 1881 that Wivenhoe found there is a possible marriage in 1872 Glasgow Central District Patrick McLean to a Bridget Docherty
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: Wendy2305 on Wednesday 05 December 18 22:06 GMT (UK)
Also there is a death of a Patrick Mclean in 1896 Lochwinnoch age 64 which would fit with the Patrick at 222 Castle Street in 1881 The reason I think this is the same one is in 1891 in Lochwinnoch there's
Patrick age 50
Bridget age 40
Rosann age 7
James age 5
Patrick hasn't aged since 1881 and Bridget has got 8 years younger ??? but 5 years later there's the death of the 64 year old if this is James father then it should name both of his wives as well as his parents which would also be on his marriage to Bridget

I'm posting details of a marriage I have which doesn't seem to fit within the Docherty line I'm tracing (yet) but may be of interest later to yourself or others researching the surname?

Marriage;

Owen Ryan (Riveter's Holder on) Bachelor 24 yrs
Jane Docherty (Handkerchief Hemmer) Spinster 20 yrs
Both were living at 216 Mathieson St, Glasgow
Married 31 Dec 1902 St. Francis' Church, Glasgow (R.C. Church)
Marriage registered Hutchesontown, Glasgow
Witnesses: James O'Donnell & Mary McLuskey

Parents of Jane Docherty;
John Docherty (Confection Worker) & Janet Docherty (M.S. Peebles)

As it happens, the son of Owen Ryan & Jane Docherty married one of my Dochertys but whether a coincidence or actually related, I haven't got far enough back yet to find out as it's a very recent line of enquiry  ;D

With Wendy's find of a possible second marriage for Patrick Snr, you might want to have a look at the possible death we had for wife.

The birth entry you mentioned for Patrick Jnr is the one that I referred to earlier where father showed as a labourer rather than tailor (as per James' marriage entry).

Apart from Patrick's entry, I could see also two possible sisters:

Cathrine Mcclean b. 5 May 1864
Birthplace    0757,TARTARAGHAN,ARMAGH,IRELAND
Father's Name    Patrick Mcclean
Mother's Name    Ann Jane Mccann

and

Mary Mcclean b. 20 Feb 1866
Birthplace    0755,TARTARAGHAN,ARMAGH,IRELAND
Father's Name    Patrick Mcclean
Mother's Name    Ann Jane Mccann

You can see the original images from the registers, including Patrick Jnr, on the link from earlier https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

These entries are easy enough to find on the site. Note the spelling of Mary and Catherine's entries with the double 'c'. Patrick Jnr's is the more standard McLean.

Who is Catherine?....daughter of?.......married who / when / where......with residence as 222 Church Street.

"..On two of her children's marriage certificates," 

You have marriage certificates for two children of James McLean / Mary Ann Cameron Scott, m. 1882 Glasgow?

What children do you have for this couple?

If Catherine married in Scotland, and went to Australia, later events in her life might provide clues to her family.

Can you list all the information on the marriage certificate for Catherine.....everything please, and listed.
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Thursday 06 December 18 22:34 GMT (UK)
Catherine is a daughter of Anne Jane McCan and Patrick McLean/McClean. She is a sister of James McLean, my great-great grandfather, whose marriage certificate I have. Both of them list '222 Church Street' in Glasgow as their address on their marriage certificates. She married John Joseph Sweeney in 1881. They emigrated to Australia.

Yes, I have the marriage certificates of George McLean (my great grandfather) and his brother James Joseph McLean, both married in 1920. There are several censuses with couples that might be them (though this is not certain) which include reference to children: Annie, Ellen, Jeanie, John, Mary A, Thomas, Hughie, and James and George. However I don't believe this is the correct family, as it seems to link the bride to an Annie McCulloch.

Catherine's marriage certificate:

2nd December
St Mungo's Chapel, Glasgow

Groom: John Sweeney
Occupation: Serving Machine Packer
Status: Bachelor
Age: 22
Address: 222 Castle Street, Glasgow
Parents: James Sweeney (deceased) and Jane Sweeney, previously Blakely, M.S. Alexander

Bride: Catherine McLean
Occupation: Pottery Worker
Status: Spinster
Age: 19
Address: 222 Castle Street, Glasgow
Parents: Patrick McLean (Coalhill Labourer) and Ann-Jane McLean, M.S. McCann (deceased)

Witnesses: James Lanechan and Margaret Hart
And the information I posted above, which I think must read 'invited, N. McGuiness'

I have also just discovered a record of James McLean's birth (my gg-grandfather), in the records of Loughall and Tartaraghan Parish, County Amargh, 25th September 1859. I have attached the image.

Catherine McLEAN, is not literate. The notation under her name is possibly a witness to her signing. I do not know if that also indicates personal knowledge between the two people.

Which state of Australia did Catherine go to, and when........did she have children in Australia?
Title: Re: McLeans of Glasgow
Post by: OutlandMcLean on Thursday 06 December 18 23:16 GMT (UK)
Possibly yes, though in my experience the priest usually signs for it.

She went to Queensland and has 9 children (Jean, John Joseph Duncan, Nellie, Catherine, Theresa, Alice, Miriam, Marion, and James Hobday [died as an infant]). All were born after her crossing to in 1885.
