Island story
William MacLean, commemorated with Cora Jane MacCallum MacLean at R3-002, married Cora at Pictou on 15 December 1909. He was a twenty-seven-year-old bachelor farmer born and resident on Pictou Island, with parents Charles and Anna Bell. Cora’s 1936 death registration explicitly identifies William as her husband and informant. His own death registration records his death on Pictou Island on 10 March 1946 and describes him as a widowed fisherman and farmer. It names his wife as Cora (Jane), his father Charles MacLean and his mother Annabell MacCallum, and retrospectively reports his birth on the Island on 8 May 1882. Burial there is recorded on 11 March, without an exact cemetery or plot. The nurse informant’s stated relationship was none. Their son Hugh Dan’s 1936 death registration names William as father and informant, separately corroborating the William–Cora household.

Incomplete names and identity candidates
Name and accepted-alias matches appear before initials-only possibilities. Within each group, records with no known date conflict and an accepted connection to the selected relative appear first. This is an evidence ordering, not a probability. Compare generation, known relatives, census units, memorials and dated sources in each record. No suggestion changes a family relationship.

John L. MacLean — Charles/Annabell son
John L. MacLean — Charles/Annabell son
John L. MacLean belongs to the Charles McLean and Annabell McCallum source family. The 1901 Island index records John L., six, as a son in their household and reports 6 September 1894 as his birthday. The original 1911 census records John L., sixteen, bornSeptember 1894, as a brother of household head William, with widowed mother Anna B. present. The matching initial, month, age progression and family establish continuity of this existing source-family child. The earlier 1874 John birth is a different cohort and is not evidence for this John L. His later adult life remains unestablished.
