Where is Melton in Derbyshire please?

[Treelover]

Hi

I have someone who on two census records says she was born Melton, Derbyshire.  I cannot find a Melton in Derbyshire only Nottinghamshire.

There is someone of the same name birth registered Hayfield, Derbyshire.  Am I looking at the right person do you think??  Was there once a village called Melton near Hayfield?

Thanks
Joan

Hi Ricky,

Thanks again Ricky

I think "ain't gotta clue" is probably the right district  

Going off in search of 1861 Hayfield census

This site says Mellor is under Hayfield reg dist.  Click on the binoculars and type in name of place

Yes, Mellor is near Hayfield but I've just come across a Marriage Bond for someone residing in "Melton" which has brought me to this thread. In fact, I have two different copies of the same bond one has been transcribed as "Mellor" and the other as "Melton". I suspect ti's a transcription error
