Find Ancestors

well sometimes they list household names on electorial rolls & we wondered if a thomas Mellish was listed at all. He was definitley in Hampshire area as a grown up (not sure of age) in around early 1940's. tbelow is the only info we have:

Hi Anthony, I have just come off the Phone with my mother - June Raymond. Her mother was Winifred Seller and Winifred's mother was Emily Seller. Emily later remarried and became Emily Earwaker. At My Great Grandmother Emily's funeral, my mum met for the first and only time, a Charles (aka Chaw) Mellish who was my great grandmother's first son by a Mr Mellish, possibly out of wedlock, or so family legend has it. Rumour Control also has it that Charles' father went on to have seven or eight children by another relationship. Perhaps he was the Tom your refer to? Does any of this resonate with you? If so, we may indeed be 2nd or 3rd cousins, connected via my Seller/Earwaker Great-Grandmother.

Well, if you'd used freebmd, as I just have, you'd know that there is no marriage between the surnames, nor is there a birth.

Elizabeth Emily White nee Pratt is correct& is my husband's mother & we do have info on her family, The Emily Earmaker is from the distant cousin who either married or had a relationship with a Charles Mellish but we do not know who their children were, so we are trying to find out if a Thomas Mellish is a son from a marriage or born out of wedlock

So, where does the name Emily Earwaker fit in?

Trying to help, but you've got to give all the info at your disposal. Can't work in the dark

No at the time her name was Elizabeth Emily White (Maiden Name) who was born in 1907

Was your husband's mother called Earwaker?

Hi. No research done reallyy, but long story , my husband had his DNA done & we are chsking out a possible cousin match. My husband knows a Tom Mellish is possibly his biological Father's name. My husbanad was born in Basingstoke in 1942 but could've been conceived in Fareham. As he was not brought up by his biological parents he has very little to go on to establish if his DNA match to a second cousin is indeed a DNA match

And have you done any research?

No point in duplicating

What makes you think there's a connection between the two surnames?

How did you find Emily's forename? We need some specific info from you

in the Hampshire area around late 1800's & into 1900's

Which century? Where in the world?

Have you looked anywhere for info yourself?

Hi, can anyone help please, I'm looking for dates & info on a Charles or Thomas Mellish (? son) & a Emily Earwaker who may have been connected eith by a marriage of Mother of a Mellish
