| Eastwood, who spells the family name as "Meller, reports that "The name of Meller is of longstanding in the parish. It is the old form of "Miller", a functionary who occupied no unimportant place in society in former days". We keep to the Mellor used by FMG as that is more common nowadays. | |||||||||||||||
