George Crichton Miln
George Crichton Miln (1850–1917) was an American actor and stage manager who was active in Australia 1888–1890. History Miln claimed to have been born in England and attended Christ's Hospital Bluecoat School, moved to America and was further educated at Princeton University. The historian Eric Irvin was doubtful about some details on his biography. Miln was a master of the tall tale, witness the note he sent to one Colonel J. S. Wilson, to whom he had given a large dog. He first came to public attention in 1882 when he left his position in Chicago as a Unitarian pastor, for the uncertain life of a Shakespearean actor. He first appeared on the Australian stage for George Rignold at Her Majesty's Theatre, Sydney playing a somewhat unconventional ''Hamlet'' on 6 October 1888 with his wife, Louise Jordan, as Ophelia and a local supporting cast. This was followed by a vehement ''Richelieu'' and thoughtful ''Richard III'' with Jordan as Lady Ann. The originality of his interpret ...

James Miln
James Miln (1819–1881) was a Scottish antiquary who excavated many sites around the French village of Carnac in Brittany from around the 1860s. He worked on Roman military camps and other Roman antiquities including the Bosseno Roman villa, but is remembered today for his studies of the Carnac stones. These had long been the subject of myth, and from the 1720s various people showed increasing interest in these features, but Miln was one of the first to carry out extensive excavations of the stones. Miln was fascinated by these ancient monuments, and wrote "one is tempted to ask how it is that the Romans, masters of the world, came and disappeared, whilst the race of the rude constructors still remains". Towards 1875, he engaged a local boy, Zacharie Le Rouzic (1864-1939), as his assistant to carry his drawing materials as he surveyed the excavations, and Zacharie learnt archaeology on the job. Miln published his results, ''Excavations at Carnac'', in 1877 and 1881.Chambers Bio ...
