Born on 4 March 1845, Agnes Caroline Jeannette Leisler was baptised on 9 December 1845 at the Unitarian Chapel in Manchester.

She was the third daughter of John Leisler of Victoria Park, Rusholme in Lancashire, who, according to the 1861 census, was a 'Cotton Merchant (Shipping).' His son-in-law Arthur Greg, also present on the night of the census, was a 'Cotton Manufacturer / employing 950 men and women.' When he died at Rusholme in 1880, John Leisler left an estate valued at £70,000. 

On 2 July 1872 Agnes married Andrew Simpson McClelland, an 'accountant' of 10 Belmont Crescent, Hillhead, Scotland. After their marriage, the couple lived at 4 Crown Gardens in Dowanhill, a district of Glasgow. Andrew McClelland had previously been married in Glasgow in 1868 to Elizabeth Anne, youngest daughter of Henry Glassford Bell, Sheriff of Lanarkshire.

Agnes Caroline McClelland died on 20 August 1925 at Newtonmore, a village in the Cairngorms, 45 miles south of Inverness.
