I am researching the McLauchlan family from Perthshire Scotland. James McLauchlan and his wife Ann Galletly came to new Zealand on the ship "Clontarf" in 1860 and settled in Cust, North Canterbury. They were sponsered out by Peter Galletly and wife Marjory, along with Alexander Galletly and family.

Previously John McLauchlan a widower, and his family sposonsered Peter and Marjory. John McLauclan settled in Lincoln.
We are trying to find the connection, if there is any, between John McLauclan and James McLauchlan.
