I am trying to find family on my maternal side. The spelling of the last name has a number of variations. Family name of Melarvie that originated in Longford. Any and all help or suggestions appreciated. Jon Adams jsmeatoms@msn.com

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    The surname Melarvie is not found in the 1901 and 1911 censuses anywhere in Ireland. Also, not found in the Griffiths Valuation for Co. Longford from the early 1850s.

    What are the variations? Can you provide the names and dates of family members?

    John,

     

    I see 7 Mellervey/Mulervy occupiers mentioned throughout County Longford in my 1854 Griffith's Primary Valuation index book. All are within the northern half of County Longford.

     

    Hoping this helps,
