I am looking for information on the following people:

Gladys Maud DIBBEN b.16 Feb 1918, parents Frederick Dibben and Jessie
McLean married 13 Oct 1917 Queensland (Townsville)

Any McLeans who related back to Kenneth McLean b abt 1795
Lochbroom,Scotland and wife Margaret Ross b abt 1800 in Rogart,
Sutherlandshire, Scotland.

Any McLeans decended from Thomas Ross McLean ch 20 Sep 1829 Ross &
Cromarty, Scotland and wife Mary Gordon b abt 1836/37 Garve, Contin,
Scotland. And any extended family of this couple, who came to Australia
in 1859 and resided in Townsville with family in the surrounding area.

Thomas Ross McLean is a son of Kenneth McLean and Margaret Ross.
( I have info on these children of Thomas Ross McLean- Kenneth, Janet
(Jessie), and Murdoch. Would love info on John b.1861, Thomas b.1863,
Mary Ann Margaret b.30 May 1871, and Alexander b. 11 Jan 1874)

There may be two brothers of Mary Gordon who also came to Australia.
David Gordon b 1834 in Contin, District of Kinloch-Luichart, County of
Ross & Cromarty, Scotland.
and
Walter Gordon b 1841 in Contin, District of Kinloch-Luichart, County of
Ross & Cromarty, Scotland.

And finally a John James SHARP(E) who married Allice Maud McLean
(formerly GALE, as her first husband was Kenneth McLean) on 6 Dec 1896.
Trying to find out what happened to him, and find his death.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
