Hello Wendy, as far as I can see we are third cousins 1X removed according to FTM definition. Where do you live in Australia? I was born in Scotland in 1946 and have lived in Switzerland since 1972. I wear the McLaren kilt.
 Would be interested to hear back from you. I would be happy to share my McLaren descendancy with you. I have not been able to go further back that Thomas Mclaren, and Helen Higgins Kilmarnock so far.

Rgds, Robin

Hello Wendy, I don't know whether you still look at these pages but I too am descended from Thomas McLaren and Helen Higgins. My Great Grandmother was Margaret McLaren born 1835 in Kilmarnock. She was a sister of David McLaren born 1828.
 I cannot go further back than Thomas and Helen but I would be interested to know more about any other McLaren descendants.

Hi Icini,

My g.g.g'parents are David McLaren & Margaret Dickie. Margaret born abt 1835, Mauchline, Ayr. They married 1854, Glasgow.
Shipping records have them travelling from Glasgow to Australia 13/11/1865 aboard the 'Samarang' with 3 sons, Thomas 11, George 9, (my g.g'father) and Duncan 5. The family spent 1 year in Queensland before moving to Victoria.

Any connection?

cheers,

Wendy
