elusive maclean/macdonald

[kimberlynn]

i cannot find the marriage of finlay maclean to margaret macdonald ?
they had their son donald in 1815 gravir lochs isle of lewis so i am supposing its around that time although i have gone back to 1790 just in case and cannot find it,
if anyone can would be so grateful.

I have traced my MacLean ancestors to the 9th century. I have a Margaret MacDonald in 1480, but she married Hector O MacLean. It seems from my research that the MacDonalds and MacLeans married into each other's clans quite a bit. Margaret MacDonald was a common name as well. I searched on Ancestry.com and found lots of Finlay MacLean (McLean). They have a free trial so you can search. Also, when I need to find someone, I try Google searching the name. Hopefully it will show up in someone's tree. Good luck.

thank you! i have used my free trial ages ago and been subscribed to ancestry quite a lot but i am finding it is costing me too much as i have only this line to find now i have been on my tree for over 5 yrs now so trying to get this line without paying at the mo, however if i have to go on it so be it, but thanks very much anyway! nice to know you have got back that far though, kind regards x
