MELLARD/MELLERD/MELLOR Yorkshire

Hi carolanne,

Well done! This is the marriage that Emmi was looking for (see reply #4), but she's not been on the site since November.  Did William sign the register or was it his mark? Nice to see the name is spelt correctly.

I noticed on the 1851 census that the enumerator has put William's birthplace as Greersbrook! He's obviously never heard of Greasbrough but that's an easy mistake to make when the pronunciation was Greersbro.

If you get any further back than William Mellard (1754) then please post it here.

Regards marshall

Hiya Marsha
Willaim has put his mark but theres nothing at the side of Anne's name so she must have wrote it herself. If you would like a copy e-mail me your addy.

Saying hello to everyone, I've not been here for quite a while, I see I've missed a lot and hope you are all still around to talk to.
Regards Emmi

Nice to see you back on this thread Emmi.  I'm still chasing the William Mellard that was a witness to my 3xGrt Grandfather Samuel's first wedding (25/8/1808). I'm assuming they were brothers but can't find a christening for William.

Hi Marsha,

on the 1851 census of Denby Dale
William age 44 is down as being born at Greetland Yorks.
Ann wife age 40 born Wath

Their first child James, whom I'm descended from was born Wath (he lives next door with wife and son Vara)
then Mary Ann 18 yrs born Notton
rest of children born Denby Dale

Have to run, catch you later, Emmi

Hi Emmi,

The birthplace of William on the 1851 census is shown as Greerbrook which I think is a misinterpretation of Greasbrough (see reply #27).  His age is shown as 41 on the census record although this has been incorrectly indexed as 44.  He was baptised at Greasbrough church on 4/2/1810 (see reply #8).

The William I'm still looking for was probably the brother of William's (1809/10) father, Samuel.

Regards,
marshall

Hi Marshall,
It's quite a number of years since I collected the information from the census, yes I remember the recorded information being unclear and having to ask for help deciphering it, the member of staff recognized the word as 'Greetland' and directed me to the parish where I found the baptism entry.
Regards, Emmi
