the Rev Roderick Morison. The page numbering for the OPR was not interrupted, so what happened? And where did the IGI reference come from, since it can’t have come from the OPR? Was John’s family Roman Catholic? The only entry I found that could be worth considering was the baptism at Beolagh on 27 December 1784 of a boy named John to a father named John McRae and a mother whose father was Kenneth McLennan of Morvich. But the only possible relevance of this entry would involve a change of surname of John from McRae to McLennan.

Find the Cecil McLennan who called on Julie Kent in 2004 looking for information. He had been to RR Hist Soc. (Possibly in Navy or possibly named after his uncle who was in navy.) Is he a son of Jack who went to Darwin before WWII, and a grandson of Horatio? I tried in 2010 but the RAN has no record of him. Find Charles McL - was still alive in 1903 (Ken’s DC) . Try Vic BDM ‘fiche at SLQ, and Electoral Rolls, or get marriage cert in Grafton. Re Charles: check if Charles H. Mclennan 1854-1915 was him. This Charles had been a dingo trapper in the Victorian mallee, was the first ranger at Wilsons Promontory Nat Park, and wrote articles under the pen-name Mallee Bird. (emailed query to Birds Australia 20.3.2009). According to his death certificate his name was Charles Henry McL, mother’s name Eliza, born Beaufort Vic, died 10 Dec 1915 aged 61, watchman, 6 yrs in Sth Aust, buried Coburg, wife Annie Frederica Juers (sp??), son Eugene born about 1890. Check SA ‘fiche for marriage and child. Check Camden Park and Brownlow Hill records to see if Ken worked there before taking up the Spring Ck lease. See intro and McL entry in “They Worked at Camden Park”: indicates unlikely to have been a labourer at CP; therefore Brownlow or Goulburn more likely. Any more lease documents or accounts prior to 1862? Try electoral rolls for Ken McL . Goulburn and Camden areas (note Camden museum – an aboriginal man was on electoral roll for 1839 ?)
with book details unrecorded - was Ken there? Contact Uniting Church Archives re the list of 43 Presbyterian convicts in Goulburn made by Rev Wm Hamilton on 8.2.1838. Was Ken still in Goulburn? See Wyatt’s “History of Goulburn” p 410-1. Find out about the censuses mentioned by Atkinson (pp 77-8) for 1841, 1846, 1861, and list of long term residents at Camden Pk in 1859. Search more “Northern Star” issues re John, Bill, and Ken jnr McL, including photo of Ken jnr playing cricket. (NS is on microfilm at State Library Qld). Email Royal Artillery for history 1808 -1819. Was John in the Indies? (done, 15 Feb 2009) print photo of RA barracks from website Check IGI microfiche of Glasgow area and Argyle for births William McL 1817-22, Farquhar McL 1820-26, to John and Isabella; and of Kent and Middlesex for birth of Barbara 1817-21 to John and Isabella, and Isabella Noble to William and Catherine Noble 1790’s.

Sydney a list of 43 Presbyterian convict servants residing in Goulburn. Was Ken McL one of these? For death of John McL in Scotland, try District Pension Returns, class WO 22 at the Public Record Office in England. From 1842 pensions were paid by staff officers who sent in monthly returns of people who had moved or died. Burial records film for death of Catherine McLennan, 1834-41, and any of her siblings, Inverness Inverness newspapers for obituaries for John and Isabella Get copy of photo of Richard McLennan in naval uniform in RRHS Museum, likewise Cecil McLennan, in Lismore. And get photographic print of the photo of hansom cabs outside railway station. In Richmond River Historical society Museum, find and copy the photo in File: Lismore, Photo Box Case 5, of the corner of Molesworth and Woodlark Sts 1882 known as ‘Baillie’s Corner’. The ironmongery store built by James Baillie, on e of LLismore’s first blacksmiths on the site of his first smithy is at right. He sold the building to Mr J. Simpson of casino 25 Nov 1882 and sold the vacant corner which he owned to John Harrison for 900 pounds. The building on the left was built by John McLennan and sold to James Barrie. Look at weekly newspapers “Camden Times” from 1879 and “Camden News” from 1880 for any comments on McLennans, Butlers, Loaders, and Roberts. (Mentioned Atkinson p. 121). NSW Dept of Education Archives, or state archives, regarding rolls from 1858/9 for Mt Hunter/Westbook National School to see which McL children attended and for how long. Also, Uniting Church Archives for rolls for Wesleyan day School from 1852. Check if any more “Parliamentary Proceedings” for earlier years re. Ken’s acreage and stock holdings.
Regarding Scotland: “The History and Traditions of the Maclennans of Kintail” by Dr Jon McLennan and James McLennan” ($25), and “In Search of Clan MacLennan” by Malcolm Lobban and James McLennan ($50).

Record Office from John’s last known placement which was May, 1819. Given here are the details for 6 th Bn, 4 Coy. (NB: At this period the companies were known by the name of their commanding officer, not by a number.) However, if John is found to have transferred from another coy at some stage, then the tables from Laws’ book will have to be consulted again. I have a copy of the pages for
