I have posted a reply requesting information but repeat as new topic in the hope that someone is able to help.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who believes they may have links to Malin, Maylin in Orsett, Essex or thereabouts.
My single name is Malin and traced my family back to Orsett from my ggrandfather Henry Malin and then to John Maylin in 1816 (or possible 1818). John Maylin married Phoebe Harrod in 1845.
The name Malin has been transcribed as Merlin, Maylen and Maylin at different times but was definitely Maylin in early to mid-1800s but later seemed to be more consistent with Malin.
I have been curious as to whether there is anyone who can trace back to John Maylin and Phoebe Harrod but who kept the surname Maylin or anyone who believes they are related. To my knowledge John Maylin and Phoebe had the following children:
John, Joseph, Henry (my ggrandfather), Ellen, George and Sarah (all born between 1846 and 1865).
I would be interested to hear from anyone who thinks they may be related as I would like to be able to include any links in my family tree.
