Great News! Deloris Ramon from Evanston, Wyoming contacted me (her first email ever). She is a Great Granddaughter of Charlotte Elizabeth Mellor and John Henry Roper. Her Grandfather James Leo Roper is a brother to my Great Grandfather William Roper. James Leo Roper married Maria Daisy Wilstead. James and Maria had two children, one lived to be an adult, James William Roper, who is Deloris’ father. James was born in Castlegate, Carbon, Utah and passed away 14 October 1999 in Ogden, Utah. James William Roper married Lavina Deloris Shurtleff, a Great Great Granddaugther of Luman A. Shurtleff.
Deloris and her daughter Peggy Harvey have a number of photos and history to contribute to the website in the future including a photo of Charlotte Elizabeth Mellor. Along with a book about Charlotte: “Charlotte Elizabeth : a tale of tenacity, tragedy, triumph” by JoAnn Mellor Felix.

I am a Great Great Grandson of John Henry Roper and Charlotte Elizabeth Mellor. I have a copy of “The Mellors Through the Years” which has much of their story. But, I am very interested in the book mentioned “Charlotte Elizabeth: a tale of tenacity, tragedy and triumph” by JoAnn Mellor Felix. How can I abtain or view a copy?

My husband, Robert Mellor is a descendant of Thomas Mellor (b.1835) of Yorkshire. Thomas married Ann Lyons (b.1836). They began married life in Moortown, Leeds, Yorkshire. Thomas was the son of Peter Mellor of Weaverham, Cheshire. Peter was Robert’s g-g-grandfather. Does anyone know of relationship between this family line and the James Mellor line written about in “The Mellors Through the Years”?
I am new to this site, and find it very interesting.
