• Notes

  I am researching the Melvin family a generation or two back from the David Lees Melvin (b 1833, Riccarton, Ayrshire) mentioned on your website. Specifically, I am trying to trace a sibling of his father (James Melvin b 1799) named Annie. It seems that she had a liaison with one of my ancestors, James Humphrey, and gave birth to an illegitimate son James in the mid 1820s. She died soon thereafter. Her child was originally (in the 1841 census) named James Melvin, but changed that (by the time of the 1851 census) to James Humphrey. If you know of anyone researching the Melvin, Lees or Humphrey families back in Ayrshire, I would love to share information with them. Best regards, John Humphrey, Toronto email 2015 ____________________________ Died in Ayr, on Friday, Dec. 16th, 1904, at 11.15 a. m., David Lees Melvin, aged 71 years. The Funeral will take place Sunday, Dec. 18th, at 2.30 p. m., from Piper Street to Ayr Cemetery. Funeral Card
