Scope of Website

mclaransofdalby.com aims to tell the history of the family between 1851 and approximately 1900 in detail.

Only significant events after 1900 will be covered because of the rapid expansion of the  family tree in the 20th century.

Events prior to emigration may be included as they are uncovered. 

The story will include:
  • the sagas of the voyages of the America and the Flying Cloud
  • the tragic deaths of Jane, Margaret, Duncan and Alexander McLaren - only Margaret's death did not have an inquest
  • Margaret's mysterious missing son,  Daniel James McLaren
  • the unknown father of Ellen Sullivan's first child
  • the story of Tartha from 1860 to 1900
  • the unions of the McLaran and Eversden families and the Brown and Eversden families
  • the young lad who called himself William Eversden
  • the 2015 return to Frogmore and the discovery of (possibly) Donald (or Malcolm) McLaran's spade

It is a riveting tale. I hope you will enjoy it and that I can do it the justice it deserves. 

Secondary family names, within the stories, include the following:
  • Ahrens
  • Conquest
  • Connell
  • Coss
  • Dale
  • Dittman
  • Glover 
  • Goss 
  • Gransden 
  • Goodman 
  • Hurley 
  • Ivett 
  • Kennedy
