Ann Norah ( or Honorah) Melia. She was from Chorley in Lancashire C1842 and was my great grandmother, She married Jessie Hudson, my great grandfather in Brindle, Lancs, (and later married William Haydock). They settled in Darwen, Lancs. Her father was James Melia ( sometimes Malley or Maley or Malia) and he came from Ireland - probably Mayo. Mother was Mary ( Fleming or Kelley). Anyone have any information on these or are you connected? David Farmer

David -
it's highly unlikely that any relative will just happen to see this thread - and hasn't done so in the last 17 years.

Search for any of the names in "Search all member trees" under "Search" at top right of this page.

If you find any matches, contact the tree owner by clicking on "Find out more", and explaining your interest.

If you're lucky, you may receive a reply.

You asked for "any information".
You seem to know quite a bit already. What do you hope to find?
