I know a variant spelling of Malyon, pronounced Mallion. Didn't know it was another version of Maling - I have Mealings from Gloucestershire in my tree, sometimes spelt Maling or Meling! |

Both Dowsett and Mallion seem to be most common in Suffolk, Herts and Essex if tbe VRI is to be believed. Where are your lot from? |

Trouble is that this is as far back as I have got so far on this line. |

Jim Mallion - possibly mother's maiden name, or maiden name of father's mother. Look for the name Mallion in previous family branches. Ian |

I have a Daniel Dowsett in my tree. He and his wife Mary nee Barton had a daughter in 1766 and named her Elizabeth Mallion Dowsett. My Great great great great grandmother. The name rolls off the tongue so well that I have developed a special affinity for her and would love to find out more about her. Please does anyone have any ideas where this strange middle name could have originated? Jim |
