McLean Family of Dumfries
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 02:23 BST (UK) »
I am searching for information on my McLean family. Mary Martin married William McLean in 1829 in Dumfries. They would have six children. My great great grandmother was their daughter Henrietta who married Alexander Fraser Thomson in 1866. Henrietta and Alexander would immigrate to America in 1874. Once in America the family wanted to return to Scotland. It must have been decided that Alexander would go back first and then send for the family, but unfortunately he becomes ill and dies in Glasgow.

I am trying to find out about Henrietta's siblings: Margaret born 1830; Isabel born 1837; Mary Ann born 1839; Marian born 1842; Henrietta born 1844; and William born 1849. Their father died in 1849. Mother remarried to a Brady.

I am hoping to find out if any of them immigrated to America, too. Or if they remained in Scotland.

Thank you for any assistance that you may be able to give me.
