Dear all I have still not found any new information about Margaret Mellons place of birth in Ireland. She was born AUG 25, 1847. And her father was Michael Mellon, draper. When she met a Danish sailor in Liverpool, they got married. And went to Denmark i the early 1870th. As you can see in the fine ...

Dear Alex69, Luxor, MaryA and Blue70 You are all amazing, thanks you so much. I have been away for a while, and not working on the pc - well, it was a great and wonderful surprise getting all your good suggestions and concrete informations. I have certainly something to work with... I appreciate you...

Dear Blue and Mary Thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate that. That is a great list of links to Irish etc. sources. I will do my best to find Margaret Mellon, but still hope that somebody, some expert, would be able to help me, some day. But the list is a very important tool, thanks. Happy Ne...

Dear all My great great grandmother: Margaret Mellon (Father Michael Mellon, draper, both catholic), born in Ireland 25 AUG 1847 - and then she came to Liverpool, married James Morrison, and went to Denmark around 1870. A few years has gone, and I have sometimes tried to find her (birth) in Ireland,...

Dear Luxor That was a excellent link, - did not know it - the more sad case is that they only provide data after 1864, and I am looking for the birth of Margaret in 1947 or Michaels death, but that is not possible as for as I am concerned. Thanks again, I might use it in an other case. I see you poi...

Dear Luxor That is another great step to take, to try to find Margaret (and then I will know about her father and mother). Since her father was draper (and his sister Catherine later in Liverpool Census 1871 is mention as a dress maker), I got the idea that they came from a city, rather than the cou...

Thanks Bert and Blue It gives me further and interesting informations. Regarding trying to find Margaret (b. 25 Aug 1847), where she was born, that is a very very big trouble. I have been on Rootschat, RootsIreland, NLI (many church records), Irish Ancestors, Family Search, PRONI, Griffith Valuation...

Dear Blue, Bert and Mary Thank you for helping! I will go on, trying to follow the new leads. James Morrison (Jens Mogensen, in Danish) perhaps came to work as a seaman in UK from around 1860... I got to know that his older brother also work as a seaman Niels Peter Mogensen b. 1834 (I have no idea h...

Dear friends I have had so much help - this Forum is very good, thanks all! This time I just want to ask if any may know/or may find informations about my family who left Liverpool for Denmark. The irish born Margaret Mellon b.1847 married the Danish seaman James Morrison b. 1836 (Jens Mogensen) in ...

Great Blue, I have done that.

I see Mellon from Ireland, from Wixford/Wexford, Silgo (?) and Kilkenny - Perhaps I could somehow take a look a those Irish towns?
Best regards
Mellon/Danish

Thanks Blue

When you have time, if you can see who are the Matrine fuit on Maria Anna (Polly) and Peter - the three other children, that would be great, please.
Best regards
Mellon/Danish

Dear Blue
I think it must be family - perhaps an aunt, are you able to see how old they are, or is that not on these Census informations?
Perhaps their children has left the home in 1861?
Best regards
Mellon/Danish

Hallo, the post of 5/8/15, you see the baptisme of Helenor (Ellen) Maria Morrison, and you see the 'Matrina fuit' , and I guess this is a family member. The name is Allen, perhaps Dorah Allen? Margaret and James call a son, born in Denmark Edward Allen Morrison (Mogensen). This could be on Margarets...

Dear all friends By the way, thank you Mary - that is funny it is a Mellon who has provided the maps. Help wanted, please. Since I am going to make a book about Mellon in Denmark, I need to know more about the life in Ireland before Margaret left (between 1861-1864) as a young girl together with her...

Dear Mary

Yes, therefore it would be great if something is to be find either on Michael Mellon (Mallon, Mallen, Mellen) or the aunt to Margaret, Catherine Mellon (Mallon, Mallen, Mellen), she is 28 in the Liverpool Census 1871.

Best regards
Mellon/Danish

Thank you Blue

Looking forward to see if that may lead to new data.

Best regards
Mellon/Danish

Dear Blue

What would you suggest I do from now on? Are there - for me - any other ways to go?
People to ask, places to go to?

Thank you for participating in my little project, helping so much and making - for me - an unreal story evolving.

Bet regards
Mellon/Danish

Dear Mary Danish (and Scandinavnian) names close to the one you ask about would be: Lars, Las, Lasse, Lauge, Laust. And that is not very close. Sometimes in Danish we use the duble vowel which later is replaced by a special Danish letter (we have three more than in english). For me it certainly soun...

Dear Blue Thank you so very much for trying, for researching. You have search so many places - I appreciate that! I really hoped that something would come up - at least where they came from in Ireland. And if no birth of any Michael Mellon (Mellen) around 1810-30 in Ireland is to be seen, do you thi...
