You're welcome. Good luck with the searching.

Thomas Mellon might be a possibility. Have spoken with Uncle an he's planning another trip to Leicestershire records office soon, probably taking me with him for another set of eyes. Says he started looking for Thomas just before the records office closed and may have missed him.

Thanks for the help and sorry for not replying sooner, internet connection decided to throw a hissy fit.

Thomas Mellon any good?

Aah, but you already know this as you change his surname for 1841. Sorry to duplicate.

You're right Ozbird, that's Thomas's brother and my 3xGreat-Grandfather. Uncle and I are stuck with Thomas. He's went to Leicestershire records office years ago and couldn't find anything else for Thomas other than the baptism I posted.

Would he have been a widower in 1851?
If so, if, as Julia has mentioned Staffordshire, there is one of his name born Wetley Rocks, at Lichfield Street, Castle Church, age 41, a hawker.

There are quite a few the right age in Staffs but not Leicester!!
Do you know if he had any siblings or who he married??

Hi,
This could be a poss from the 1841, Mothers name fits, not great on my Geography though but I think Leicestershire and Staffs border each other?/!!
