How lucky to have the MI with such detail  :)

There are two deaths showing in London for an Alexander Milhench:

1st Qrt 1852 in Brentford, Middlesex
4th Qrt 1859 in Holborn, Middlesex

1851 shows Alexander Milhench Snr in Holborn, his second wife looks to have died in 1849 :

Alexr Methinch 76 carpenter widower b. Scotland
Alfred Methinch 10 son

Looks like family trees for the Alexander Snr have gone for the wrong death...

This Alexander also had a son Alexander, from 1851, Newington :

Alexander Milhench 21 shoemaker b. St Pancras, Middlesex
Mary Ann Milhench 20 b. Dundee Scotland
Eliza Milhench 1

The one I couldn't see anywhere in 1851 (or 1841!) was the Alexander, son of Peter!

Hi

I am a descendant of Milhench from the Port William/Mochrum area and we have several Peter Milhench's in our line.
However, I have not researched the 1700's so cannot say for sure we are in the same family.
I do have a Peter Milhench born 1824 whose father was Robert Milhench born 1797.
As I said, no further information on Robert other than he was the illegitimate son of Janet Milhench
I will dig a bit further and have a family member on the Milhench side who has done far more digging than I. 
hope I can come up with something.

Hi Lyodia

Thanks for your message re Milhench family.

I have not done any work on this branch of my family for quite a while. I do have 3 Peter's in my tree but cannot at this stage connect them to a Janet.

My Milhench family stems from  Peter Milhench (B abt 1777 Wigtownshire) who married Jane McKenna (b abt 1788 daughter iof William and Jane McKenna). Peter and Jane had 5 children that I have been able to trace so far.

1. William b abt 1806 died January 1830 Mochrum.  Buried Mochrum churchyard

2. Jane b 11 December 1818, died 25 February 1906 Boghouse Cottage. Buried Mochrum. She married William McKie 12 February 1846 Sandberrick Farm. This is my line.

3. Alexander b abt 1821 died 20 March 1952 Brentford, Middlesex

4. Susan b abt 1823 Died 27 July 1845 Glentriploch, Mochrum. Buried Mochrum Churchyard

5. Peter b abt 1828 Mochrum. Died 4 September 1901 Halliwell, Bolton England. Buried  Heaton Cemetery. He married Margaret Bradley. I have good information on this line too.

As you can see there are gaps so your Milhench line may well fit in.
