I have some 'missing' McLACHLANs (McLAUCHLIN, McLAUGHLIN var) in the area of Ayrshire, or Bute.Because of the close proximity to Glasgow and Rebfrew as well they could be anywhere. Parents Lachlan McLACHLAN/Ann McFARLANE. John was born in Largs in 1861. His father a butcher who died in Rothesay in 1893. In 1871 the family was still in Largs but I have not found him after that. In 1881 he was not with his family in Inellan in Dunoon & Kilmun. Colin was born in Largs in 1866. In 1871 he was with the family in Largs. In 1881 he was not with the family in Inellan in Dunoon & Kilmun. Margaret was born in Largs in 1868. In 1871, 1881 & 1891 she was still unmarried and with the family. Christina was born in Largs in 1869. In 1871 & 1881 she was with the family but not in 1891. Another son, Thomas Leigh McLACHLAN was born in Rothesay in 1887 to Lachlan & his second wife Mary MEIKLE. In 1891 & 1901 he is with other family members in Rothesay but I cannot find him after that. I have not found a death or a marriage for him yet. Any help or connections would be welcome. Anne Maye.
