Thank you for all the advice.. Regards the questions....
Mary Ann Millan and William Webster's witnesses were Colin Webster his brother and Elizabeth Keough... no relation as far as I can tell...
see Extract attached...

Referencing the potential other sibilings...these are definitly worth pursuing...
as I have a reference Scotland, Civil Registration, 1855-1875, 1881, 1891
for Frank Melen 26 May 1875 lochee mothers name Sherrington  and Daniel Millen 13 Dec 1880 with mother's name being Shemington although SP lists it as SHERRINGTON
but the rr may have been mistranscribed as a 'm'...

I think your are also right on the 1881 census record which I will also chase up.....

I will also get the 1883 DC for MALLON DINAH 282 / 5 / 103 Lochee which would fit dates for the children..and thanks Forfarian ...DC  for Daniel Millen... 1889 which I will also chase up...

Many thanks once more and will update once I get these records...

Regards

I was hoping a witness to the marriage might have been her brother John.
I can’t find what happened to him.

Hello again
Mystery partially solved ... I think...

mckha489 and Forfarian thanks again for all the leads.. running down these below, possible
Death of Daniel.......I am afraid these both were dead ends see below...

MULLEN DANIEL 42 MCMAHON M 1884 644 / 1 / 1017 Bridgeton
1884 12th Oct Daniel Mullen 42 No Relation as wife's name different Steamship Stocker

MILLEN DANIEL 44 DALY 644 / 14 / 417 KINNING PARK
1889 1st Sept   Daniel Millen 44 No Relation as wife's name different  Ship Steward   
-------------------------------------------
Regarding the DC of Dinah Mallon, this appears to be the correct based supposition, namely

Death   1883   5th April   Dinah Mallon   34   South Road [No Number]   Mary Ann Mallon (Daugther) Signed with a 'x'   Consumption (3 Months)
of Great Great Grandmother         Est Year of Birth   1849   Age at time   15

although as you pointed out the MS was listed as Haddington...but with no forenames or MS...
Given that Mary Ann appears to be quite young and illiterate she would have little in the way of pointing this error out at the time....

In addition when she married in 1889 her husbands address was 11 Union Place Lochee... and on her brother's DC she lists this address was listed against the informant..

Death   1890   29th April   Daniel Mellon   9   11 St Mary's Lane   Daniel Mellon [Labourer] & Dinah Mellon MS Sherrington   Gastric Debility, 21 days   Mary Ann Mellon (Sister) Signed with a 'x'  11 Union Place, Lochee  Est Year of Birth   1881

Also regarding the use of the name Melville..  on the marriage certificate of one of their son's my great grandfather 1927 this is listed as MS of his mother Mary Ann...

It would appear that the names changed over time from Mellon, Millan, Melon, Melville...
Looking into the Etymology of Mellon... I found this..

Mellon : 1: Irish (Ulster): variant of Mallon.2: English (Lancashire; of Norman origin): habitational name from Meulan in Seine-et-Oise now known as Meulan-en-Yvelines.3: Scottish (Lanarkshire; of Norman origin): variant of Melville.
As a Northern Irish surname, from Ó Mealláin, a name formed from a diminutive of meall (“pleasant”).

Also looked for John as you suggested mckha489 but also no luck for any marriages or DC..

So I will have to continue looking for Daniel's and John's DC when I have time to...

Thanks again for all the advice,
Regards

Regarding the two deaths for Daniel,
Did you cross reference the wives to see if your Daniel possibly married after the death of Dinah?

What did Dinah’s death cert say about Daniel?

Similarly does Daniel juniors death cert indicate both parents deceased?

[markw78]

Hello mckha489

1881 Census has Daniel Mellon aged 41
1884 DC for Daniel Mullen has aged 42 and occupation of Steamship Stoker
1889 DC for Daniel Millen has aged 44 and occupation of Ship Steward...

so ages do not align for his remarrying or occupations

Daniel's Mellon DC has both parents deceased 1890

Thanks for the suggestion though

If you ever get that possible marriage certificate (reply #4) please share it.

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole of a previous marriage for Daniel and really must back out before it caves in on me!
