Hi there,

I hope you've progressed sine you originally made this post. I'm currently researching the Falvey family and Henry & Frances' daughter Margaret married John Bernard Falvey on 20th February 1844. Her father and her uncle Thomas Huggard are both dead by this date.

Do you know when Henry died?

All the best

That's a good suggestion, as most Mayo Melody's seemed to live there.

Mayo / Irish Flax Growers 1796 - Dungarvan? Mayo

The Irish Flax Growers list of 1796 shows a Parish or Barony called Dungarvan in Mayo eg

Surname First Name Parish/Barony County
Melody Michael Dungarvan Mayo

Any idea where that is?

This family is the Mellody family discussed on Ancestry under the title "Boston Melodys".

According to this thread William's father was Anthony, and Catherine's was John.

The date of their marriage is puzzling. I've seen 1st Feb, 11th Feb and 1st May 1874 (http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632309#page/50/mode/1up).

William and Catherine had five children before moving to Blackburn in England: John (26th Dec 1875), Anthony (5th Jan 1878), Michael (15th Aug 1880), Mary (1882), and William (1884). They then appear to have had three more in England: Patrick (Q2 1891), Kate (Q1 1894), and Celia (Q3 1897).

In the 1901 census there are two families in Currower headed by Anthony and Bridget with children of the same names and roughly the same ages. The clincher is probably this odd record https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FCVF-3QS - only the younger family had an Owen.

Steve, if you're still interested I can tell you quite a lot about your Melody family - I'm your second cousin. And your dad will remember me as the little boy from the next street.

Thomas was my grandfather. His mother Bridget was born a Melody too, daughter of one of the Michael Melody's in Currower.
