I recently discovered some more information regarding my Mclachlan ancestors(McLachlan was spelt many different ways I am chosing to use this way)and going to talk about and introduce them in this post.
My Great Great Grandmother was a Mclachlan. Her name was Mary but also went by Ellen(I suspect this was a 2nd name and also may to avoid confusion as her mother was named Mary as well). She was the son of Duncan McLachlan and Mary Mckechern. Mary Mckechern’s parents and family are currently unknown as the marriage information I have doesn’t provide parents name.
Duncan was born in about 1823 in Kilmeny, Argyll Scotland to William and Christina (Nee Bell)McLachlan. The McLachlans immigrated to Canada sometime in the 1830s with 5 children and later 2 more were born in Canada. (I am assuming all the children came with them to Canada as they were all young to care for themselves)
The children of William and Christina are:
Born in Kilmeny Scotland
Margaret 1825
Duncan 1823 married a Mary Mckechern
Flora 1828
Donald 1830
John 1832 married a Mary McIntyre (1st)and Isabella ? (2nd)
Born in Ontario Canada
James 1837
Mary 1840 married to William Currie
As Always, Thanks for reading
