Census for MCLEAN - Arghyll

[Kenda1]

I am looking for any info on JAMES MCLEAN b 1845 Arghyll. He married MARY TURNER on 30/12/1872 & they had children Malcolm (b Dumbarton), James (b England), Isabella (b Greenock), Donald (born Barrow England)& Neil (b Dumbarton) but I don't have exact DOB for them. I believe James was a ship builder & moved about with the ship yards. I would apprecaite any help anyone can give. My email address is *

Wonder if this could be your James in 1861:

Here's some dates for you:

• HECTER MCLEAN
  Spouse: CHRISTIAN FISHER
  Marriage: 16 JAN 1833 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland

And their children, including James:

• MARY MCLEAN
  Christening: 24 FEB 1833 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• FLORA MACLEAN
  Christening: 26 DEC 1847 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• JANNET MACLEAN
  Birth: 19 FEB 1843 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• JAMES MACLEAN
  Birth: 09 MAR 1843 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• NEIL MACLEAN
  Birth: 06 NOV 1833 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• ISOBEL MACLEAN
  Christening: 10 JAN 1846 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland
• ALLAN MCLEAN

• CATHERINE MCLEAN

• MARGARET MCLEAN

• MALCOLM MCLEAN

With siblings such as Malcolm, Isabella/Isobel and Neil/Niel, I think it could be the right family.

That's brilliant - thank you. I think it is the right family - they tended to name their children with the same names as parents & siblings which is what makes it very complicated when doing family trees! This has now got me from DUMBARTONB to Argyll so thanks again.
