m John McLEAN 1787 |
|
||
|
Anna was born on a farm called Fornought about 1 mile from Fowlis Wester in Perthshire where she was baptised in 1764. When she was 23 she became pregnant by John McLEAN, a ploughman on Gorthy farm, about 1 mile from Fornought, and married him in November 1787. In February the next year however, when it became obvious that her child would be born in March, she and her husband were summoned by the church elders of Fowlis Wester and fined ten shillings for ‘ante-nuptial fornication’. In all, Anna and John had five children born at Fornought and baptised at Fowlis Wester. After 1800 however they moved some 25 miles south to the parish of Culross, Clackmannan, on the Firth of Forth where a son Peter was born in 1805. Later, they moved back to Ruthven in the parish of Tibbermore, Perth where their daughters Helen and Ann were married in 1821 and 1823. John died in 1834 and Anna in 1836 aged 72 while they were still at Ruthven. They were both buried in Tibbermore churchyard, where their son George erected a fine gravestone to their memory. |

Anna was
of the parish of Fowlis Wester when she married in 1787. There are many possible C of Anna in the
OPR, but only one at Fowlis Wester:
C
8Apr1764 Anna BAINE d Patrick BAINE & Anna_HALLEY his spouse in Fornaught
Anna’s age
at burial gives a birth year of 1764, so there is little doubt that this is the
correct baptism. Fornaught is only one
mile from Gorthy where Ann BAIN lived after marriage to John McLEAN, and she
baptised one of her children Amelia, as did Patrick BAINE.
Anna named her second son George, which should mean that Anna’s father was named George according to the Scottish naming pattern. George BAYNE (wife's name unknown) baptised a daughter named Anne at Perth associated congregation in 1771. The burial age however makes this ancestry unlikely.
the death
certificate of Helen MCLEAN-4 (see below) gave her parents as John McLEAN and
Anna BAIN, and the 1851 census gave her birthplace as Fowlis. There is a suitable C of Helen at Fowlis
Wester, preceded by the following marriage:
m
10Nov1787 John MCLEAN otp & Ann_BAYNE otp
five
children were baptised at Fowlis Wester; the first preceded by a rebuke from
the church sessions since the child was clearly going to be born less than 9
months after the marriage; from the OPR index, another child to parents of same
names was baptised at Culross:
17Feb1788
compeerd John MCLEAN & Ann BAYNE in Gorthy and owned themselves guilty of
the sin of fornication; fined 10/-

There is
no other MCLEAN entry in the baptismal register index at Culross covering the
years 1687 to 1819, so these were newcomers to the parish; with parents of the same
names and right date, it is safe to assume this was the same couple as at
Fowlis, even though Culross is some 25 miles away. John McLean was a ploughman, and it was not uncommon to move to
where work could be had.
Tibbermore
churchyard has a fine gravestone erected for the burial of Anna's son George:
George
MCLEAN in Ruthven Park d 3May1871 aged 75 years [b 1796]
father:
John MCLEAN d 7May1834 aged 70 years [b 1764]
mother:
Ann BAIN d 6Apr1836 aged 72 years [b 1764]
sister:
Emily d 2Sep1850 aged 63 years [b 1787]
The
Tibbermore register has the following burials:
B
10Aug1834 John MCLEAN from Ruthvenpark aged ---
B
10Apr1836 Mrs MCLEAN from Huntingtower
there must
be an error to account for the excessive difference in date between the death
and burial of John; probably a substitution of Aug for May or May for Aug, but
the source of error is not known; the
register was extracted from film of the
original; the MI was from a transcription of Perth MIs at SoG
