Hi there Andrew, (funnily my suburb is St Andrews)
This is wonderful news and I would love all the information you can send me.  I have been dwelling on her origins for the last couple of days and sorry I dont know anything about a Kate McLean (could she be Kate McLean MacDonald???) dear say with more hunting her descendants will pop up.
How absolutely wonderful that someone is living in the same house - I find this incredible. Please say Hello and regards to your Uncle for me.
On my Post 26 April you will see the family names John, Neill, Ronald McDonald etc., these 3 being born in Scotland and the rest as I understand being born in NZ. Jessie dying in NZ not Scotland though dont know where buried - William buried less than 100miles from where I am - Ronald McDonald is my grand-dad and my Dad and eldest brother had the same name though all desceased.
Annabelle was Williams sister and I have family line on them if you would like.
I am fairly new at this so guess you may have to send any info privately to my email -not sure myself how to do that.
Kind Regards
Marion
