Personal Information | Media | Sources | All | PDF

Name	Catharine MCLEAN
	Her name is sometimes spelt as Catherine.
Born	1816
Christened	5 May 1816	Cosandronchaid North Knapdale [1]
Gender	Female
Biography Notes	We know very little about Catharine except that that she was living in Arichonan in 1837 when she made a complaint to the North Knapdale Kirk Sessions, that Allan McLean was the father of Sarah. The 'fornication' was in Bellanoch in July 1833. This is detailed in J20 which attached to Allan's profile and in Stories on the home page. There are no indications that Allan had any direct contact with Catharine after 1833, nor that he ever saw baby Sarah. He migrated, and they took no further part in each other?s lives. We have no other information about the life events of Catharine and Sarah. (This note was by Don Gordon in October 2021.) [2]
