Ah yes, Gordon was the family above! That gets rid of that red herring then- thank you.

Antrim / Re: Have you any Melville ancestors?

Thanks, that's very interesting. I'll check out the Kernaghan surname instead of Kennedy and see what it throws up.
I found some births for Clementine and her 4th child Charles shows her name as Clementine Gordon formerly Melville. I'm wondering if that is likely to mean anything. Link attached (hopefully)!

Thank you! That has given me a further direction to go in. I'm almost certain Clementina/ Clementine was connected to My great grandmother, probably a sister or at least a cousin.
I've also turned up an interesting possible connection with Clough) Dundrum areas of Co Down. A Harriett Armstrong married a David Melville in 1884. She was widowed and remarried James Kennedy in 1895. The name Kennedy linked with Melville in both families is interesting...possibly they met via in laws.
It looks like David had a brother called James and their father was William. So a number of things pushing me in that direction.

Thank you for these links & ideas. The Connolly links are definitely my family. I still just can't confirm the parentage of Wilhelmina Melville but I'll keep working on it!
I'd like to rule out a James Melville who married a Mary Kennedy 1872 in Millisle. If anyone happens to have researched this line?

Hi,
I am looking for info on James Melville, his daughter Wilhelmina (Minnie/Mina) Melville- my great grandmother married into Connolly family- or other relatives. Her dates are app 1879-1966. Census data shows she lived in Hardinge St. Around the dock / duncairn area of Belfast. He was possibly of McCleery/ McCleevy St & died sometime before Nov 1900. I'm hitting a dead end with this particular branch of the family, so would love any further ideas! Thanks,
Denise
