Hi Rae, My 3rd GreatGrandfather was Alexander McLean who married Sarah Martin in NZ (I presume). They came to Australiain approx 1890's. He was born in Inchture Scotland. I am just wondering if the two were brothers. Unfortunately I cannot find anymore information on Alexander McLean as Alexander was a popular first name for sons. I know they were living at one time around Rylstone and he died in Lithgow NSW 1913.
John McLean is my 3 rd great grandfather
