Midlothian / Re: McKean, Joseph
« on: Monday 11 June 12 12:10 BST (UK)  »
I think Joseph came to Australia in 1857 on a ship called the David G. Fleming. . He came a month before ny great grandfather William McKean. And that seems odd.

No one can find evidence of where he went. I don't know the basis for the story of a fight, but something must have happened.  His younger brother Robert who died in 1927 was a wealthy man and he left money to most family members but no mention of Joseph.

I would like to hear more.

Hi Ken
I am a descendant of William McKean whose brother Joseph was your ancestor.  I am writing a family history about the McKean - McRae families from Port Campbell and would be very interested to learn more about Joseph.  I have heard this rumour about a fight - any more details?

Hope to hear
Alison

Not sure if Joseph McKean is still an interest,.  I have details of brothers James, William Peter and Robert, and sister Jane.

Happy to share.
