Just bringing this post forward again.
Looking for information on McLaren's from the Kilmarnock area. In particular David McLaren b. 1828 Mauchline m. Margaret Dickie b. 1835 Dalrymple. They married 1854 in Glasgow. Davids parents were Thomas McLaren and Helen Higgins who married 23/12/1816 Irvine, Ayr.
David and Margaret had several children one of which was George born in Kilmarnock abt 1857. He married Maria Turner in Melbourne, Aus. 13/3/1884.
Any help greatly appreciated.
