My mothers maiden name is McBean. I do know that her father was one of a twin who was adopted. She was born in Southampton in 1943.

I'm from a family of McBean's (obviously), I can trace my family back to 1820ish.

my nan's maiden name is McBean, she grew up in Hartlepool and had 2 brothers and 4 sisters.. She is still alive, 85 yrs old.

Can you give more details(e.g.first name) and any other information so that I can check a possible connection with some of my own MacBean ancestors and their descendants?
