James McLean was born in Falkirk in 1812 to John McLean and Elizabeth Campbell. He married Janet Livingston in 1838 in Falkirk and they produced 4 children, all born in Falkirk. The 1841 census shows James, Janet, Catherine and John living at Back Raw, Falkirk.

By the 1851 census the family have moved to Vicars Lane, Dalkeith. :James McLean, 38, Head, shoemaker; Janet, wife, 35; Catherine, daughter, 12, at home; John, son, 10, apprentice moulder;and Janet, daughter, 2. All born Falkirk, Stirlingshire. There is no sign of son James, age 8 in the 1851 census.

It seems that James re-married to Janet Turnbull between 1851 and 1861. The 1861 census shows James back in Falkirk at Roberts Wynd with wife Janet who was born in London. Also in the house were daughter Janet, 12 daughter Elizabeth age 9, daughter Ann age 4 months.

In the 1871 census the address is 82 High Street Falkirk with wife Janet and daughter Ann aged 10.

By the 1881 census James is in Falkirk at 64 High Street living with daughter Ann, servant, age 20, and a 4 month old illegitimate grand-daughter Janet Hendry. Interestingly the next-door family was a McGilchrist family, father a shoemaker. James McLean's grand-daughter married a McGilchrist but no firm connection can be made so far.

James died in 1891, aged 78 in Falkirk, closely followed by Janet in Dalkeith2,3.
