McLean/McCleans in Ballyalbanagh

[chiplassie]

Hello;
  I am hoping that someone may have McLeans in the Ballyalbanagh area of Antrim.  I have a David McLean b 1835, father James.  David married into the McGookin family from nearby Ballyboley.

HI

I have a Samuel McClean a Carpenter from Ballyboley who married Elizabeth Jane Mayne from ballyboley on the 18 April 1888 in First Ballyeaston Presbyterian.

Samuels father was also Samuel McClean a farmer from Ballyboley. The two witnesses at the Marriage were John McClean and Elizabeth McClean.

Does any of these names mean anything to you.

I Have just checked the Baptismal records for First Ballyeaston Presbyterian and would this be David:

McCLEAN   David   Father:James   Mother: May McQuillen   Born: 1 Dec 1834   Ballyalbana

Hi;
  I have the 1857 Ballyeaston marriage thank you.  I did need to check for the baptismal record though.  I believe that would likely be David's baptism in 1834.  I only knew of Samuel McLean in Griffith's Valuation.  The other McLeans are interesting and certainly may tie in at some point as David and Mary's children were all born Ballyboley.  Good to know there are other McLean/McClean researchers out there.
  Thank you both for your assistance. 
Best wishes,
CL

Thank you Helenar. By the way, would that first name be Andrew?

Hi Chipladdie

Yes it should be Andrew.

The David from Ballyalbanagh had a son James who was 8 in 1813.
Here is the details:
David McLean            36               Weaver
Margaret  wife           33
John                           11
James                          8
Francis                         7
William                         5
Hugh                            4
David                           4 months

There is a lot of David's in this family so it could be yours.

Hi John;
  Thank you.  I think you are right about that.  It looks like the 8 yr old son James might be mine from some other details I have been considering.
Great!!

Hi John (jwaugh)
  I was browsing through the will calendars at the PRONI site and discovered a Samuel McClean alternate name McLean, Farmer from Ballyeaston.  He died Dec 12 1883, Ballyeaston. There were three executors.  Two farmers and Annie McClean spinster Ballyeaston. 
  I realize this is not specifically Ballyboley, but thought it just may be your Samuel McClean sr.
