The Haighs were prosperous wool mill owners from West Yorkshire who set themselves up as gentry in the 1840s at Grainsby Hall, Lincolnshire, England, so why Melosina came to be buried in Llanbedr D.C. is a mystery. She was the daughter of George Henry Haigh and the grand-daughter of Robert Way Harty. Sir Robert Way Harty, 1st Baronet (27 December 1779 – 1832) was a British politician and Whig Member of Parliament representing Dublin City for a few months in 1831.
