Alexander MacClelland
« on: Friday 13 April 12 21:28 BST (UK) »
Hi there, I am looking for anyone who can locate Alexander MacClelland who had a son John MacClelland in 1871.  I cannot find him on the 1881 census and any help would be much appreciated.  I am told he lived on a farm near Kirkinner.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much, it may be a possibility, it is so difficult with the different spellings, so I will need to do more research, but more than I found before so thank you so much for your help.
