Melville - Connery Connection? (Edinburgh)
My ancestor Temple Annesley Melville had a business (cork cutting) and home on the Canongate adjacent to the Tolbooth. According to family tradition he sold the premises to the Connery family, grandparents of Sean. Is this a possibility? I know that Sean is proud of his roots in Scotland but I don't know if the Edinburgh connection is possible. Temple marrried Isabella Ferguson (b.1859) and their three children (Benjamin Disraeli, Nellie and William) all migrated to Canada in the early years of the 20th Century.
