So this means that he went from being a currier to a victualler between the two weddings (1842 and 1848).
I am now hoping to find him on a census with one of these two occupations so I can confirm that it's him with some degree of certainty.
In 1841 census they live at Glenluce Main St, Wigtownshire with the household being:
Agnes McLelland 40
George McLelland 10
John McLelland 60
John McLelland 5
Peter McLelland 3
Here his occupation is shoem (shoemaker?) - one year before he's meant to be a currier (could he be shoeing horses and working their coats?)
In 1861 at the same address is:
Agnes McLelland 63
John McLelland 63
Agnes Neill 7 - granddaughter
John Neill 14 - grandson
Most notably Agnes has "lost" 20 years?? But same address and same names seems like a bit more than coincidence - but I'm learning not to assume....
His occupation in 1861 is listed as "male catcher" (from the website you gave me I know Male could be the bag's used by the royal mail; so catcher might be someone who helped sort the bags?? - but this seems another big jump from his other occupations).
No results for 1851 yet - and assuming it is them they should still be at the same address....
