A very rough McLaran family tree
My son said "This website is too complicated! Sure, I run a business with over 100 employees but it is far too difficult for me to follow. Where is the tree to explain it all?"
Above is the McLaran tree I knocked up for him. You can't get any simpler. It shows:
2022 Breaking news: recent discovery of Malcolm's siblings, Jean McLeoran and Archibald McLeoran has added parallel trees to the one above with extensive families in USA and Victoria, Australia.
After this news, my son said, "Why would you bother including Jean and Archibald?" My answer: Jean, Malcolm and Archibald McLeoran were the only descendants of Malcolm McLeoran and Margaret McVicar. Apart from Jean, they and their children emigrated from Scotland to different parts of the world - USA, Queensland and Victoria. To me it is interesting to compare how the McLaran cousins and second cousins fared. This history of the McLeorans of Southend would not be complete without recording the fate of Malcolm McLaran's siblings and their families.
Above is the McLaran tree I knocked up for him. You can't get any simpler. It shows:
- Malcolm McLaran's children
- the Goodmans and the Milfords
- the family of Donald McLaran and Clara Eversden
- Margaret's Sullivan family
- The Lost McLaran
- and Mary Jane Sullivan, the probable daughter of Alex and his half-niece Ellen Sullivan
