Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute?read=365 Surname: Thomson, McLachlan, Mclean ------------------------- Hi Sharon, I'm a newcomer to this email and noted your interest in Thomsons of Bute. I have a Mary Thomson married to John Mclachlan . They had children Archibald, Isabella(myGr Grandmother) her twin sister Mary and a brother John. Isabella married john Mclean Kingarth parish in 1847.I think Isabella had worked on a farm at St Colmac before marrying John who was a shepherd. They eventually came to New Zealand in 1863. Any of these names ring a bell? Cheers for now .. Audrey
