G'day Cobbers, I just been informed by Scottish member of my McLEAN family that Isabella Melvin (Bella) McLEAN migrated to Australia. If this is the case, I estimated that Bella would have arrived here in the 1920's. Which State of Australia is unknown. Her family of procreation is below: Descendants of Elspet DEAN & Charles McLEAN Charles McLEAN, b. 15 Sep 1860 in Garmouth, Moray, Scotland, d. 27 May 1933 in Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Scotland. He married Elspet (Elsie) DEAN, married 24 Jun 1892 in 51 Church Street, Elgin, Scotland, b. 10 Sep 1858 in Elgin, Moray Scotland, (daughter of Alexander DEAN and Isabella MELVIN) christened 16 Sep 1858 in Elgin, Moray, Scotland, d. 06 Oct 1946 in 34 Royston Main Crescent, Edinburgh, Scotland.
