Adrian Melskens/Melkens born 05-04-1779 in Holland
HE is married with Danish wife.. when? He died in Denmark... which date ?
i found some documents he is a widow.... he lives in Ribe.
I think he died there but i cant find him.
Who can help me???
Thank you
Here is a Bernardus Melskens who was born in Leuktgestel, Holland around 1818 and has a daughter called Adriana. Could she be named after his father? Not in Ribe, mind you. The register for Ribe doesn't seem to have any Melkens.

Egil
and the district from Åbenrå?
He lives there too!!
I dont have the registers!!
It is Wyck, Tønder???
I cannot find 1835 Wyck, Tønder.

It is my family too, as you know, Katherine
Ifølge lenken på familysearch.org var han enkemann, katolikk og gartner i 1835.
Ifølge min venn Ole Westermann er det tydelig at han bodde i Wyck på den østligste del af øen Før/Føhr - https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyk
Dette ligger nå i Tyskland.

Sorry, forgot that you wrote in English:
According to the link at familysearch.org he was a catholic widower and gardener in 1835.
According to my friend Ole Westermann they lived at Wyck on the eastern side of the Island of Föhr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyk_auf_F%C3%B6hr
This is now a part of Germany.
Det passer jo også meget godt, da det åbenbart har hørt under Tønder amt engang. Han er så en af de få Melskens, der ikke bliver kedelførere/kobberhandlere.
Og nu har jeg fundet den
