Hi Heather!
Very interesting response - but also confusing me!
To answer you back to front:
William Mellis was baptised 12 Jan 1794, at St Ninians, Stirlingshire (he died, 23 April 1858, at 1 Cowan Street, Stirling.He was the son of John Mellis (bapt. 31 Mar 1767, at St Ninians) and Margaret Crawford (bapt 31 May 1767)(dau. of William Crawford & Margaret Bald).
Jean Ferguson was bapt. 9 December 1798, at Larbert, Stirlingshire, & died 7 October 1850, at Kippen (dau. of Thomas Ferguson & Elizabeth Hay).
William Mellis and Jean Ferguson were married 19 Jun 1821, at Kippen, Stirlingshire.
I am descended from their eldest son (who spelled the name Melles, thereafter).
So far .... so good!
I only have one daughter of this couple called Jane Mellis.She was bapt. 22 June 1834, at Gargannuck, Stirlingshire (about 5 miles from Kippen).She died, unmarried, 13 January 1861, at Gargannuck.I am certain of her death (and her identity) as I have seen the death certificate in Edinburgh.
So.. who was your Jane Mellis??It is not unknown for there to be 2 children with the same name (but usually because the older one died)!Do you have any dates for your Jane Mellis?
Although I cannot be sure that I have discovered all Melles/Mellis marriages, I have been through all the post 1855 records in Edinburgh (and all IGI records) and I do not have a Russell/Mellis marriage!
If you could let me have some dates, perhaps we shall make the connection
If there is a connection, I can provide a fairly full history for you!
Who are your Mellis relations still living in Scotland? (I only know of one branch left)
Best wishes
Christopher
