I married George Alexander Mellon in 1967 in London.His parent's names were Helen and Denys Mellon.I would like to find out where Denys Mellon was born,I think it was Ireland.Also Helen's maiden name,I believe she was brought up in India,something to do with Jute plantation.Denys Mellon was a master mariner,and I believe buried in Abudabi.Any help would be great.

Do you have Helen's maiden surname from George's birth certificate please?

Where was George Alexander born?

I think her maiden name could have been Stein.
She had a brother called Sandy,short for Alexander
Helen and Denys divorced when Geoge was a young boy.

I can't find a death for either Denys Mellon in England and Wales before 2005 ( I'd hoped if one died in England & Wales it meant the one who didn't was more likely to be your Denys)

You need to get Deny's marriage cert to ascertain his father's name, and then we can identify if either of these couples are his parents - though if he was born in Ireland neither of them will be.
