Dear Aghadowey
Thank you so much for the reply! Margaret is born 25 August 1847, Ireland, and RC.
Margaret got three children in Liverpool. At the Liverpool Census 1871 it says that she is living with aunt Catherine Mellon (Mallon), 28 years.
The Census says she and her aunt are from Ireland. They are not on the 1861 Census, I guess the left Ireland between late 1861 and 1864 (Got married in 1865).
At the baptizing (the first four children) RC church (St. Vincent and St. Paul) it is shown that the god mother is Catherine Mellon (Mallen) as well as a Norah Allen
(The first children are twins, named Michael (perhaps efter her father and the girl is named Ellen, perhaps after her mother? Later, in Denmark, they named an other child Edward Allen Mogensen (Morrison). I guess Allen is a familyname as well, perhaps on Margaret's mothers side?)
Margaret married James July 22 in 1865, on the GRO certificate, Liverpool, it shows only her fathers name: Michael Mellon (Mellan), deceased, and that he was a draper of profession.
I see Mellon/Mallon/Mellen/Mallen is spelled in many ways...
Since I never knew about where our Mellon-named came from, and I am working on a book about Mellon in Denmark, I/and family are very excited about where in Ireland Margaret (and Michael and Catherine). I appriciate any help, thank you.
Best regards
Danish
