Anna was born on a farm called Fornought about 1 mile from Fowlis Wester in Perthshire where she was baptised in 1764. When she was 23 she became pregnant by John McLEAN, a ploughman on Gorthy farm, about 1 mile from Fornought, and married him in November 1787. In February the next year however, when it became obvious that her child would be born in March, she and her husband were summoned by the church elders of Fowlis Wester and fined ten shillings for ‘ante-nuptial fornication’. In all, Anna and John had five children born at Fornought and baptised at Fowlis
Wester.
After 1800 however they moved some 25 miles south to the parish of Culross, Clackmannan, on the Firth of Later, they moved back to Ruthven in the parish of

PRINCIPAL RECORDSb=born m=married
d=died C=Christened B=Buried BIRTH
Anna was
of the parish of Fowlis Wester
when she married in 1787. There are
many possible C of Anna in the OPR, but only one at Fowlis
Wester: C
8Apr1764 Anna BAINE d Patrick BAINE & Anna_HALLEY
his spouse in Fornaught Anna’s
age at burial gives a birth year of 1764, so there is little doubt that this
is the correct baptism. Fornaught is only one mile from Gorthy
where Ann BAIN lived after marriage to John McLEAN,
and she baptised one of her children Amelia, as did Patrick BAINE. Anna named her second son George, which should mean that
Anna’s father was named George according to the Scottish naming pattern. George BAYNE (wife's name unknown) baptised
a daughter named Anne at MARRIAGE
the
death certificate of Helen MCLEAN-4 (see below) gave her parents as John McLEAN and Anna BAIN, and the 1851 census gave her
birthplace as Fowlis. There is a suitable C of Helen at Fowlis Wester, preceded by the
following marriage: m DESCENDANTS
five
children were baptised at Fowlis Wester; the first preceded by a rebuke from the church
sessions since the child was clearly going to be born less than 9 months after
the marriage; from the OPR index, another child to parents of same names was
baptised at Culross: from Fowlis

register
C There is
no other MCLEAN entry in the baptismal register index at Culross
covering the years 1687 to 1819, so these were newcomers to the parish; with
parents of the same names and right date, it is safe to assume this was the
same couple as at Fowlis, even though Culross is some 25 miles away. John McLean was a ploughman,
and it was not uncommon to move to where work could be had. DEATH

Anna's son George: George

must be an error to account for the excessive difference in date between the

Aug, but the source of error is not known;
