One thing I do have is the Y-dna test. This hasn’t helped me yet but someday when more people have been tested this might be useful. Right now it shows my Maclean as an R1a type which is not as popular as R1b apparently.

PEI did have a census in 1861 but it does not list the members of the household, just the head of household.
(It did not join Canada until 1873)
The marriage record is not indexed on the database at PEI archives. I would have to look through the church records myself for the years in question

I am confident that is them. I just don’t know how to go back a generation to Scotland.

John Angus had already had a daughter before his marriage in 1883. So I am not surprised he is not home in 1881. I cannot explain why Isabella is off by 5 years but this is not unheard of in a Canadian census.

Forfarian you have the right children
Donald , Isabella, John Angus.
The cards were produced in the 1970s from church records by volunteers. I have no other info on Donald. All the descendants I know come from John Angus. Angus is listed as Gaelic speaking in the 1881 census.

Thanks Trish,
My Angus does appear in the 1881 census with wife Sarah and daughter Isabella in lot 40 Prince Edward Island. This rules out the Angus in Little Sands.
The other problem with Little Sands is religion, my Angus’ children are Catholic.
Sarah MacGillivary was Catholic
This is why I doubt he is the son of John and Isobel the most. I am not convinced they were Catholic. Although, it is possible he agreed to become Catholic after his marriage to Sarah

The source for the births on Ancestry are listed as ‘selected Scottish births and baptisms’ Ancestry database Utah

Hello, yes my maternal grandfather’s grandfather was an Angus Maclean. He was born in Scotland abt 1826. He migrated to Prince Edward Island , Canada. He married a woman on Prince Edward Island, Sarah MacGillivray abt 1855. I was told by people with trees on ancestry that his father was John Maclean that I listed. I hired the genealogist to trace whether this John was actually the father of Angus. I have no source that connects the two and I had my doubts.

John McLean and Isobel Thomson (or Thomas) married 1818
children Christian, John, James and Angus
1819, 1821, 1823 and 1826.
I hired a genealogist from Scotland to look into the son Angus but she did not find this family in any census. Just an 1820 Examination Roll parish of Rothesay - crossed out
“a household identified on ‘West Side High Street’ containing John M’Lean, Isobel M’Thomas and Christian M’Lean. This was likely John McLean, his wife Isobel and their eldest child. “
I’m not sure where I can go from here.
