Re: google failed me!!! (Mellenish/Mellinish)

I don't think that Google failed because there is apparently no such place.  
Aside from the fact that Google would almost assuredly bring it up if there 
were, my AA Road Atlas of Great Britain, which seems to have even the tiniest 
village of merely two houses, lists no such place, not by either of the two 
spellings of the dance (Mellenish/Mellinish).

The only thing that I might logically conclude is that perhaps the braes of 
Mellenish are hillsides belonging to, on the property of, said plasterer.  
Perhaps someone else has a better thought or even definite information about this. 
 ("Brae," sometimes merely a hill, is also often more specifically a coastal 
slope.)
