I was able to locate Crossboyne Parish on Google Earth - it was fascinating to see where my family (probably) once lived. As I'm not currently subscribed to Ancestry, I can only communicate with you through this board - I apologise for that. For the same financial reasons, I can't purchase the tokens needed to obtain the parish records at this time, but rest assured I've kept all the information and I will pursue the leads you've furnished as soon as I possibly can. As for Martin Melican's death certificate, I'll attach a copy to this correspondence. Mary is listed as having provided the information but, as you say, the actual spelling may have been someone's phonetic transcription of what she told them. As you can see, the surname was spelled Melligan here, and I have documents also with the spelling as Milligan and Milligen. I've also put out feelers, as it were, on the Mayo Genealogy Group page on Facebook. If you are on Facebook, it would be very interesting to communicate with you through there. Thank you again, Dave, I appreciate your help more than I can say! Pat Brooks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
