hi annie, I see you have the name mellon in your tree,if you don't mind me asking what part of Ireland did they come from my mellon family also used the name o mellon .

Hi Cathy,

My Mellon family originated from Donegal although I only have my 2 x g g/father James Mellon b c 1821 - 1825.
He married Hannah Toland/Tolland 1845 in Donegal but she was form Strabane, Co. Tyrone.
They had 2 kids in Ireland (somewhere), moved to Scotland & England for a time & had 3 more kids,  then returned to Ireland at a later date where they died, Hannah in Tyrone but I have yet to find James' death

Hello

My 3x gr grandfather was James McIntyre and Catherine Currie was his wife. He is my brick wall as there is little info on them. It is believed e fought in the Napoleonic conflict. He was born in 1796 app and died in 1843 in Dunoon and Kilmun. His wife passed in 1860. I would love to get further back, but never come across info for James.

Any idea where a long term patient in the Argyll and Bute Hospital who died around 1890's or 1900's would have been buried if they had "no known family"?
