MacDonald or Maclean?

MacDonald or Maclean?

1878

Murdoch has 2 CWGC entries, which suggest his true surname was Maclean, however BMD records don't seem to support this. He was born illegitimately in Wick to Domestic Servant Christina Macdonald and Fireman Murdoch Maclean and he is named Macdonald on his birth certificate. He probably later adopted his fathers surname as was quite common but he served under his "official name".
