Bevil Melville - Patriarch
« on: Thursday 08 August 13 13:03 BST (UK) »
Hi, Having difficulty finding any further details of my ancestor John William Melville, b1800 - with no details about him from birth in Romford, Middlesex to 1851 census, except he middle-named 3 children Bevil, John Bevil, William Bevil and Jessie Bevil, with mother Harriet,  and I surmise that may have been his father's name in Romford, Walthamstow or Islngton around late 1700's. Have no idea how to search Parish records and haven't been able to purchase a marriage certificate for John and Harriet from GRO. Help please, James Melville. My deceased uncle in Brisbane was also named Bevil.

Children are without their parents in 1861,
have they both died,?

Harriet Melville aged 35 years buried Jan 15th 1855,Linden Grove,abode 2 Fredrick Place,Upper Lemmington Lane Vauxhall,is this correct

I have ordered a birth certificate for John Bevil Melville and will advise when it arrives. 

What did this birth certificate reveal about his mother's maiden name?

Added: I see jorose posed the same question recently

you say you ordered a certificate for John Bevil Melville - what was the outcome of that - parents' names?
