To all Mellanby / Mellonby / Melomby researchers:
I recently received three pages (copies) from an old Mellanby Family Bible. In it they spell their name 'Melomby' but in all the Census records it's written Mellanby or Mellonby or even Mellamby.
Some of the names mentioned in the Bible are; Mary, Isabella, Thomas, Louisa, etc.
Anyway, I am related to them via my great-grandmother, Ada Winter - her mother was Frances Mellanby born 1853 in Durham (not sure where in Durham - probably Stockton.) I'm also in touch with a chap who is related to the same branch.
If anyone feels this would be at all helpful to their research, I'll happily share my copies of the Family Bible. If there is a connection, I'd appreciate any info you could give me because I only have my Mellanby line back to 1827, with the birth of Ralph (father of Frances).
Kind regards,
Sheridan
