If the surname you are researching is McClelland, MacClelland, McLelland, Clelland, and other similar spellings, I have in my possession some records that may help you. I have extracted the above surnames from the 1841 and 1851 Censuses of Wigtownshire, Scotland. Also, I have extracted the same surnames from the Christenings and Marriages from the Old Parish Records (OPR).
I have these records at my home, and I am willing to do a LOOK-UP for you. However, you must give me enough information to help me identify your ancestor. The given names are VERY COMMON, as there are many with the name John, Robert, William, etc.
Please keep in mind that I may have made mistakes in transcribing these records. Many records are very difficult to read.
