This profile has been proven to be a fabrication. Previously, it had several sources (listed below) that may or may not be genuine. The sources that may prove genuine are not associated with this profile. Because this profile has been proven to be a fabrication based on the sourcing and biographical elements presented at creation, it shall not be taken out of the Disproven Existence Adjunct Project without substantive evidence that it truly existed. If you wish to restore this profile from the disproven existence categorization, please open a G2G thread, add the tag "fraud" to the post, present your sources and argument, and then link to the thread in the profile notes. The profile will then be discussed by the community and a determination will be made if the profile should be restored.

Research Notes

There are statements made in the biography below which indicate that this profile is imaginative rather than historical -

"William MacLellan was a Military Guard in Scotland and Land border guard in Wales" - a "Military Guard" is not a British military term, the Guards regiments are based in London. ^[1] There was no requirement for the border between Wales and England to be guarded.

"William and Margaret were moved to Wales by the ruling party of the day." The Scots Guards did serve in Ireland and Flanders in the 17th C. but not in Wales. "The ruling party of the day" were the Whigs of Walpole's Parliament
