I will do.. very sad for my great grandmother losing her brother's so young, her father when she was 14, her mother at 15 and with two brother's to look after... must have been very difficult for her...
People nowadays no idea what people had to endure before the welfare state... .

I know what you mean about rabbit holes... I have had a few of these myself during family history research.. 

all the best

Hello again
Mystery partially solved ... I think...

mckha489 and Forfarian thanks again for all the leads.. running down these below, possible
Death of Daniel.......I am afraid these both were dead ends see below...

MULLEN DANIEL 42 MCMAHON M 1884 644 / 1 / 1017 Bridgeton
1884 12th Oct Daniel Mullen 42 No Relation as wife's name different Steamship Stocker

MILLEN DANIEL 44 DALY 644 / 14 / 417 KINNING PARK
1889 1st Sept   Daniel Millen 44 No Relation as wife's name different  Ship Steward   
-------------------------------------------
Regarding the DC of Dinah Mallon, this appears to be the correct based supposition, namely

Death   1883   5th April   Dinah Mallon   34   South Road [No Number]   Mary Ann Mallon (Daugther) Signed with a 'x'   Consumption (3 Months)
of Great Great Grandmother         Est Year of Birth   1849   Age at time   15

although as you pointed out the MS was listed as Haddington...but with no forenames or MS...
Given that Mary Ann appears to be quite young and illiterate she would have little in the way of pointing this error out at the time....

In addition when she married in 1889 her husbands address was 11 Union Place Lochee... and on her brother's DC she lists this address was listed against the informant..

Death   1890   29th April   Daniel Mellon   9   11 St Mary's Lane   Daniel Mellon [Labourer] & Dinah Mellon MS Sherrington   Gastric Debility, 21 days   Mary Ann Mellon (Sister) Signed with a 'x'  11 Union Place, Lochee  Est Year of Birth   1881

Also regarding the use of the name Melville..  on the marriage certificate of one of their son's my great grandfather 1927 this is listed as MS of his mother Mary Ann...

It would appear that the names changed over time from Mellon, Millan, Melon, Melville...
Looking into the Etymology of Mellon... I found this..

Mellon : 1: Irish (Ulster): variant of Mallon.2: English (Lancashire; of Norman origin): habitational name from Meulan in Seine-et-Oise now known as Meulan-en-Yvelines.3: Scottish (Lanarkshire; of Norman origin): variant of Melville.
As a Northern Irish surname, from Ó Mealláin, a name formed from a diminutive of meall (“pleasant”).

Also looked for John as you suggested mckha489 but also no luck for any marriages or DC..

So I will have to continue looking for Daniel's and John's DC when I have time to...

Thanks again for all the advice,
Regards

Hello
Been trying to break long standing brick wall in relation to my paternal great great grandparents...

# Daniel Millan Marble Stone Dresser
# Dianah Millan maiden name Sheridan

Both died sometime before April 1889 from their daughter's Mary Ann Millan's marriage certificate in Dundee.. where she worked as a Sack Machinist marrying William Webster Calender Worker.. when they were 21 and 26... from her DC I know she was born in 1868... I think she was born in Coreside in England...but can't recall where I found this out...

I have tried Family Search... ScotlandsPeople and GRO sites but no luck at all in finding any records of their deaths..

Would love to be able to complete this line on my paternal branch of the family tree..
Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Regards
MarkW
