Melancthon and Bridget are my great great great grandparents. Last name is Balcombe but from what I can tell, they just wrote what they heard in those days and both Melancthon and Bridget had broad accents, therefore the last name was misspelled in all records from their marriage, childrens births and even their death records. There is not much to be known about Bridget however except that she was from Milltown, Sligo County Ireland. Parents unknown. I have seen mention of a father named Flanagan but that is all. Biddy is a bit of an enigma at this point. But I will keep searching.

Good luck

Sandra (Balcombe)
