<>Missing McLEAN Family Member in Australia:

Hector

I am trying to locate descendants of Bella GRANT who married a R. J. TAYLOR in Scotland and migrated to Australia in the 1950's.

R. J. TAYLOR was the informant on the death certificate for his mother-in-law, Isabella Melvin GRANT (nee McLEAN). Isabella Melvin McLEAN married David Johnson GRANT in Abt 1915 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

The address shown on the deaths certificates for Isabella & David GRANT was 41 Menangle Road, Camden, N.S.W., Australia.

If anybody thinks that they may have information on this family or known a person who could be a member of this family, could you please ask them to contact me.

My BIRCH pedigree I have back to c980, in England, thanks to John BIRCH, who headed the BIRCH One Name Study.Very unfortunately John died in June, 2008.
