Hi-

I was wondering if you might have some knowledge of

William Melhuish
BIRTH 10 MAR 1833 • Cheriton Fitzpaine, Devon, England
DEATH 4 JUN 1914 • Devon, England

(Son of William Melhuish, Husband of possibly Anna Maria Partridge)

I know he was a tailor and that his house/business was near the post office. One of his sons, Frederick William (b. 1860) immigrated to the US which is where my direct lineage. I'm attempting to figure out exactly which place he lived as the census records don't give the address.  Also any confirmation of who his wife is or who his parents were (William and Mary).

Any other general knowledge of the Melhuish family would also be appreciated.

Thank you!

Kate
