Lachlan MacLELLAN was born on 27th October 1843 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He emigrated to Queensland in 1854 on board the "William Miles", along with his parents, Donald Alexander MacLELLAN and Ann MacINNES, and brothers John and Alexander. In 1873, Lachlan MacLELLAN was working as an Overseer at Clifton Station. Clifton had the distinction of being one of three stations taken up and stocked in the first years of the Darling Downs settlement. On 28th September 1873, Lachlan MacLELLAN and Mary Anne HANLY, daughter of John HANLY and Anne DUFFICY of Kilmacuagh, County Roscommon, Ireland, were married in the Catholic Presbytery in Toowoomba. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Robert Dunne. Witnesses to the marriage were Michael CONNOLLEY and Delia HANLY. Lachlan MacLELLAN was a 28 year-old bachelor and Mary Anne, 27 years of age was a spinster. The HANLY family is recognised as one of the most ancient and noted in Kilmacuagh and the Parish of Kilgefin.
