McLachlan - Forbes
Hi,
Does anyone have a William McLachlan, a Chelsea Pensioner who married Mary Forbes of/in Old Machar, Aberdeen 1820?
Mary Forbes was born 1788 Old Machar, daughter of Francis Forbes and Jean Edward, my g.g.g.grandparents and died 1863 at St Nicholas, Scotland.
According to the 1841 census Willian was born about 1771 and his parents may have been Walter McLachlan and Margaret Campbell of Glasgow, Lanark.I would love confirmation of this.
William and Mary had.......
William Campbell McLachlan 1822
George Edward McLachlan 1824
James Forbes McLachlan 1827
Margaret Campbell McLachlan 1829
Jane Edward McLachlan 1832....... all at St Nicholas, ABR
I would also appreciate any information, however small, for any of the children as I can't seem to find any of the family after 1841 with exception of maybe William.I believe William went to London working in Ship Building.
Any help what-so-ever will be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Helen Miller
