It seems that Milburn, Milburne, Milbourne and Melbourne were all in use in Newcastle in the appropriate period.

Hi, the John Melbourne and Joanna Hughes you are researching were my husband's great grandparents - their daughter Elizabeth was my husband's grandmother. John came from Newcastle to Maesteg to work as a coal miner and they married in Maesteg in 1890. William Donoghue was Joanna's illegitimate son. Also Joanna's parents were Irish, born in Wexford in the 1830's.

Kind regards, Jill

Hi again - having read through the previous messages I have all the correct information you want and hope I can be of help on the Melbournes if you would like it. John married Jemima Norrie and the Norries and her mother's family, the Hynds, (all from Scotland) were very wealthy shipbuilders, merchants etc.

Regards, Jill
