Hello again Murray ,
I meant to show you my Melicans since my post in 2006 but left it off !!
John Melican b 1808 mar. Bridget Brennan B 1820 both of Kilbaha
Parents of my GGGrandmother Catherine (Melican) Harris b. 1845 Kilbaha, her brother Michael John Melican, married Bridget Brennan in 1879 Scattery Island , their son John Michael Melican and also married a Brennan, Christina in 1907. Like I said I visited a very old Graveyard in Kilbaha, I found an almost unreadable Brennan grave but could find no Melicans at all. It was a last minute visit on a Sunday afternoon , I went to the Little Ark but there was nobody around to ask. Any information on Melicans in Kilbaha would be appreciated. I know that John Melican 1808 had three brothers Stephen, Daniel and Patrick, all the Melicans were Pilots.
Thanks Carol
