Beryl,
Whilst on the McLEAN subject, I was researching one of my family
ancestors.

Her name was Maria KILLEEN.

When Maria arrived, c. 1855, she was illiterate. When she married at
Williamstown, presumably the Priest at her wedding wrote her name as she
pronounced it, hence her name appeared on her Wedding Certificate as Maria
CLAYNE to Samuel SMITH.

When her first 2 children were born, her Maiden Name was recorded as McLEAN.
On the baptism of her 3rd child, her Maiden Name was given as KILLEEN, which
occurred after her younger sister arrived.


Regards
Ron Cooper
