Alexander Mclean married Rebecca Sheils / Shails around 1865. Co Antrim Ireland
I am seeking information / descendants of Alexander McLean born in Co. Antrim Northern Ireland around 1848. He married a Rebecca Sheils (Shails) also b approx. 1848 and probably from Antrim. They had atleast 1 son David Mclean b: 1869 approx of Randalstown Co. Antrim who married Ellen Duff Smylie of Ballymena on 21/01/1875 in Dungiven, Co. Derry. She was from a relatively wealthy family. He was a Groom at 'the big house'. They had 8 children. The first 2 or 3 of which were born in Ireland. The remainder were born in Ayr in Scotland. David and Ellen (Helen)moved to Ayr and he became a crofter sometime around 1903. two of those 8 children are still alive. Jean Mclean (the 3 child) emigrated to Canada. one of the 8 died soon after birth. My grandfather was Robert Mclean b: 30/01/1910 who married Sarah Jean Haggan in Carrickfergus although they lived a lot of their lives in Glasgow.
Any information or help you can give would be reciprocated.
