Her parents are listed as Hector MacLean and Ann MacDonald. She had a brother, Lachlan but he may have gone to the U. S. before this time. Could someone please check the 1841 census to see if there is any information about this family. I downloaded the file myself but I can't open it. Marion Marham mmrbm@ameritech.net >> have you checked with the MacLean home page and Tim the genealogist? Also You may want to take a tumble through Ross and even up to Southerland and Caithness as the area is loaded with MacLeans, not to mention Mull and Jura. DaveM.
