The Family of |
Murdoch McLean c.1840 – 1928 and Annie McKenzie c.1849-1929 |
Compiled by Marcia Penny June 2002 Contact genepenn@pcug.org.au |
Murdoch McLean was born on the Isle of
Raasay to
Annie (McKenzie) and Norman McLean, in 1840. He was the second child to
take the name Murdoch; his older brother also named Murdoch, being
alive
at that time. So Wee Murdoch was known as Murdo Beag Maclean. I have been told that the reason for duplicate names is that the maternal and paternal sides of the family both needed to be represented. Patronymics are still used on Raasay today, which assists to identify which person belongs to which family even if the names are the same. Murdoch
was a child of thirteen when he arrived in
Australia with
his mother and siblings in 1854. |
