[S144] Linda Evans, Melrose: An Irish Village Transplanted in New Brunswick, online www.newirelandnb.ca, "The Lanes came from Ballynamuck (sometimes spelled Bally-na-moche), parish of Murragh (known then as Moragh) in West County Cork. It is located a few kilometres southwest of the Anglo-Irish town of Bandon. Many more related families would follow them." and "Rev Savage, in his book suggests that the Lanes only came to Melrose after the Great Fire of 1825 in Miramichi. However, they had location tickets to the land grants in Melrose in 1821 and so they probably came to Melrose before the fire."

"Before their farms were ready for occupation they lived on a portion of the Trenholm farm. Here William met his fate, marrying an elderly lady - Mrs. Trenholm, the widow of their temporary landlord. [William Lane was about 36 and Katharine (Seaman) Trenholm was about 46 when they married.] After her death he married another Protestant Eliza Mitton. He was slow in taking up his farm, so he did not live near his brothers."
