Not sure.. I am looking and I am sure some how connect st not really directly.. My Ann Gardner Clelland was born in 1799. She married John Clelland 1818.  I am descended through a daughter Janet born 1823. I look closer. I am off to work now..

Hi Kristin!

I think we may have an extremely distant link. Going on familysearch, https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bfather_givenname%3Ajames~%20%2Bfather_surname%3Aclelland~%20%2Bmother_surname%3Agardiner~%20%2Brecord_country%3AScotland

James Clelland/Cleland and Ann Gardiner/Gardner had the following children:

William Fleming b. 16th March 1833 ch. 4th April 1833
John & Archibald (I presume twins) b. 19th Oct 1827 ch. 3rd October 1827
James b. 10th April 1825 ch. 24th April 1825
Janet b. 2nd March 1823 ch. 16th March 1823
Elisabeth b. 16th May 1837 ch. 11th June 1837
Ann b. 10th September 1820 ch. 14th September 1820
Agnes b. 9th November 1829 ch. 29th November 1829

There is another Elizabeth b. 28th March 1839

2 other William's are listed also

b. 19th Dec 1831 ch. 25th Dec 1831
b. 11th March 1835 ch. 29th March 1835

So is your Janet Clelland the same as above? If so we have a link through her brother William Fleming Clelland.

It's so very distant though - my husbands 3rd great uncle widow Margaret Christie, remarried to him!

Yes, that is my Janet! You are good!

Hi, not sure how old this post is but I've been constructing my own family tree for a couple months and have come across a William Gardner, married to Mary Clelland, with one (known) child, John Gardner.
I have had very little success finding any information on William and Mary but came across this forum after searching their names together. The only information I have of these people is that William Gardner and Mary Clelland lived in Scotland, likely Glasgow, and John Gardner likely came to Australia (which is where I live). John Gardner was born in 1808 but I am unsure when Mary and William were born, but most likely around 1780-ish.
A side note, we also have a Thomas Gardner (father of Edmund Horatio Gardner) which is from a separate branch of the tree but we suspect could be a brother or cousin of John!
Could these people be related to your people or are these names just a coincendence? Would love to hear your input if this post is still active!
