  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./ Carol Ward`s Family Tree (Tollgate) <<http://www1.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=chattaboks&view=0&pid=451&rand=18322>>

      Birth certificate on file. Certificate does not name this child, neither does it name the place of birth. However, this child was born to father George Melmer, Pastry Cook, and Matilda, formerly Cooley in 1837. The informant was George Melmer, father, Railway Offices, Cheltenham on the same day as the birth.

      Young Henry was present in the family household at Fairview St., St Mary`s Cheltenham, in 1841 along with his parents and siblings. He was 4 years old.

      In 1851 Henry Melmer was described as a Hatter, aged 13, living with his parents and siblings at 33 St Pauls Street North, Cheltenham.

      I cannot acount for Henry Melmer after the 1851 census therefore believe he went to the States. I have been informed that he did. However, he may well have been one and the same person enumerated as E F Melmer in Nebraska in 1880 - see notes for E F Melmer 1837.
