What is your brick wall? In other words, what information do you want that you have not yet found? It would not be very productive for us to give you info that you already have

1880 Census

I'm so sorry. New to this. I'm trying to find out about his family, mother and father. I know that he landed in Ohio from Scotland and married Louisa Whittaker/Whitaker on 21 Jan 1875.

I see several family trees on Ancestry, but they are not sourced. I do not find Daniel in the Ohio death index for 1939, however, Louisa apparently died in 1939 in Michigan City, LaPorte County Indiana. There are at least two obits for her, that may have more information.
She is listed here in the Ohio obituary index, the Clyde Ohio library has the correct newspaper
http://index.rbhayes.org/hayes/index/
There was apparently also an obit in the Michigan City, Indiana paper
http://www.mclib.org/genealogy/obituaryindex.html

If you can locate Daniel's death record, it may list parents. His marriage record may or may not list parents, depending on the state and the year. There is an obit listed for a "D.A. McLeod" in 1916 in the Ohio obit index, the obit is in the Clyde paper, but it lists place of death as California. The California death index has the name as Daniel A. McLeod, but it lists his age as only 46.
Have you found Daniel or Louisa in any other census besides 1880?

Yes, I have found him in 1910, living with his daughter. States he is married, but is looking like they were separated perhaps. http://interactive.ancestry.com/7884/31111_4328136-00162/443...

I haven't been able to track down a death record though. Thank you for the obit link. I will order that and see where it goes.

Based on the information from the 1910 census, this looks to be them in 1900 in Chicago, even though some facts are off. I searched on Louisa West, since I had her estimated age and birthplace
Birth of Iva Louise West
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X6YY-7JF
Iva Louise West
Gender: Female
Christening Place: , Sandusky, Ohio
Birth Date: 09 Jan 1896
Birthplace: Clyde, Sandusky, Ohio
Race: White
Father's Name: Frank West
Mother's Name: Mary Mccloud

1900 census, Harvey, Cook County Illinois
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MS7V-8N3

Household Role Gender Age Birthplace
Donald Mcclead Head M 53 Ireland
Louisa Mcclead Wife F 46 Ohio
Mary Mcclead Daughter F 23 Canada Eng
Louisa West Granddaughter F 5 Ohio

It is interesting that May Barbara was supposedly born in Canada, both in 1900 and 1910

Also, Donald/Daniel said he immigrated in 1861, which would make him about 14, which suggests maybe he came with his parents.
I am still on the hunt!
