Moscan,

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it's not my John MacLean. Mine is definitely on Raasay but may be listed under the parish of Portree.

Have had another look, and have found 3 John McLean's... no MacLeans at all, but thats probably a transcription error...

Hi Mo,

Right on the button!!!!

The first extract is the one I was looking for.

Born/Christened  29 Apr 1801  MCLEAN JOHN   
Father - NORMAN MCLEAN
Mother - CHRISTY MCLEOD     

I'd been told his mother was a McLeod and the names Norman and Christy both turn up in several following generations.

Many thanks.
