1826 John McMillan McLeoran birth record


John McMillan McLeoran b. 15 Sep 1826


John McMillan McLeoran
John was Malcolm McLaran and his first wife Margaret McQuilken's first son. He was Malcolm's second son, born 4 years after the illegitimate Archibald.

For many years, the choice of the name "John McMillan" remained a puzzle - why a second name and why those names in particular? Finally in 2022 the pieces of the puzzle were fitted together: he was named after his grandmother Margaret McVicar's cousin, John McMillan, aka John McMillan MacNeill, the laird of Carskey estate.
Ongoing Research
It is hoped that research will eventually uncover what became of John McMillan McLeoran. John and his younger brother Malcolm McLeoran (let us call him Malcolm the Younger to distinguish him from his grandfather Malcolm Senior and his father Malcolm Junior) were recorded as farm labourers at the Southend farm Lephenstrath in the 1851 Census. Neither son was recorded in the 1861 Census, so it is reasonable to assume that they had both either moved away from Southend, or emigrated between 1851 and 1861.It is possible that John emigrated to Victoria at the same time as his uncle Archibald's family in ?? 1853.

Today John's fate is a puzzle, but each year brings hope that the puzzle will be solved. 

Below: some images of relevance and some leads as to John's possible movements.
