My great-grandfather, William, was born in Ballybay (or possibly, Laragh) in 1821. He came out to the Brampton area of Peel County in Ontario (then Upper Canada), probably in the 1830's. His religion was Presbyterian, his occupation was leather dealer and shoe maker, and he died in Brampton in 1871. I have some evidence that his father was named either William or Alexander and was connected (possibly renting land, to the Leslie Estate at Laragh. Last April, when in the National Library in Dublin, I found a reference in the Clogher Record 11(1)(1982): 71-76 to three McClellands, Alexander, Samuel and Thomas who were tennants renting land on the Leslie Estate in 1786. I am extremely interested in any information concerning these McClellands, particularly Alexander. Any help would be greatly appreciated. > > Bill McClelland, London, Ontario, Canad > > drmcclelland@home.com > > > > ==== IRL-MONAGHAN Mailing List ==== > Try your luck if you're looking for ancestors in Pennsylvania, USA: > Subscribe to the Pennsylvania Census Lookup list: > mailto:PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=subscribe >
