Mclean's of Boston, Massachusetts - For Thrall

Thrall · Post by **Thrall** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 1:55 am

Hi Marilyn and Kilearnan and thank you both for all your time and trouble, I never thought I would get this far with the Mcleans so fast.

Charles Mclane definately looks promising.

Now to wait for the marriages, to see if there is any forward line from Neal G. or Catherine.

Looking for their deaths is not so easy with such names.

Incidentally, for anyone looking in the Vital Records and who, like myself, hasn´t read the instructions, putting a maiden surname in as a first name gives all the combinations with the first name and married name.

Much gratitude,

Guid hunting,

Hi Marilyn, thanks to you I have now found the deaths of two more Mcleans in Mass., Catherine Galbraith, and her daughter Mary P. Mclean.

Hi Thrall,

That's what we're all here for Thrall, to solve one mystery at a time. Glad we could help you along.

Could you post the city, date, vol & page number for Catherine & Mary, I'll need those to send for the records.

Regards
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn, sorry I got carried away!

Catherine (Galbreith) Mclane d.1880, Salem, vol.319, pg.294

Mary P. Mclean d.1901, Salem, vol.516, pg.657

On a hunch, (you said you were allowed five look ups!), could you go for the other two death possibilities:

Charles M. Mclean Boston, 1910, vol.17, pg 472,

Neil J. Boston 1904, vol.7, pg.151.

Hope I´m not exceeding your quota here............

Guid hunting,

Thrall

I need to print off this thread and cross out "Who I'm not looking for"

BJ thanks for looking these up, it will save tons of time with the lookups at the archives.

Too right!

I´m afraid that the only DC likely after this information so kindly offered by Killearnan is Charles Mclane plasterer d.1896 - I have not been able so far to identify his parents in Scotland, and with a hospital death perhaps there were no parents registered.
And there I was so sure of the Catherine Galbreith/Galbraith Mclean death; well, back to the drawing board....

Looks like this McLean family may not be so easily tidied up, to say the least.

Hi Thrall,

All depending on who registered Charles's DC, hopefully the parents names will be on his DC. There's only one way to find out, so I'll send off for it in the morning.

Hi Thrall,

I sent for Charles's DC last Friday, so keep your fingers crossed.

I´ts been a long while since any concrete evidence crossed my desk.

Hi Thrall,

It will be three weeks ago this Friday, that I sent for the record. So it should be showing up any time now.
