McLellan, McLelland, McClellan, McLelland, MacLellan etc. etc.

I have found Samuel Mclellan's death and it is one I can read apart for Sam's mother's surname Ann Do***** See below, any ideas?
Also on James and Margaret's marriage cert I cannot read either place name and I think her mother's name is Elizabeth McDowall.
Now to hunt for another Samuel McLellan!  (from death cert) Thanks for your search tips Dave.

I just wonder how I will get on with Grace, I don't know.  How long have you been looking Kirsty?

Have lost Ann Do*****!  Back in a sec.

Found it!

2nd address looks like it could be Craigdow?

Not sure of 1st Craiglemine or similar 

Sam's mothers name looks like Donnan .Will have a look around.

Craiglemine seems to be about right.
I might be wrong but it's in the right area.

Hi All 

This entry on IGI looks a good possibility for Grace Galloway's christening:

GRACE GALLOWAY     Christening: 04 JUL 1816  Old Luce, Wigtown
Parents:DAVID GALLOWAY and MARTHA CLEIVE

Using the IGI batch codes given the spelling variants on Samuel's children, these are the entries showing:

1. JOHN MCLELLAN Christening: 18 APR 1838 Old Luce
2. DAVID CLELLAN  Christening: 16 APR 1840 Old Luce
4. ROSANNA MCLELLAN Christening: 28 AUG 1842 Inch
6. JAMES MCMICKAN MCLELLAN Christening: 05 JAN 1845 Inch
5. MARTHA MCCLELLAND Christening: 05 MAY 1847 Kirkinner
1. ANDREW MCCLELLAND  Birth: 09 SEP 1855 Sorbie
3. ROBERT MCCLELLAND Birth: 21 DEC 1858 Kirkinner
2. JANE DAVIDSON MCCLELLAND  Birth: 06 APR 1861 Kirkinner

I am wondering if a search of the MI inscriptions might be in order soon?

I have been researching my Galloway line for about a year, but as Grace was one of several siblings 5 generations back and I don't have unlimited funds I hadn't looked any further than her christening date until today!

The Grace christened in Glenluce that Monica posted looks a more likely candidate I think. If we can find the family in later census records we might find visitors to help confirm to which family she belongs.
The McMickan and Davidson middle names for the children may give clues IF it is possible to get back another generation.

Hi Monica,
I have hunted for the parents of Grace on SP.  2 came up -
Grace Galloway 4/7/1816 parents David Galloway and Martha Glieve
Grace Galloway 22/3/1817 parents William Galloway and Agnes Glen
I chose the right one.

But her mother Martha Clieve is proving a problem.  Even using wild cards I can't find her.

Thanks for the two extra IGI children Monica 23 years of child bearing!  

Abiam    Ps I have just seen your message Kirsty pm me and I can send it
