I'm looking for any info on my GGGG grandfather, John Mealing. He was born in High Wycombe, possibly Penn. Died in 1837. I would like to know who he married, his parents and it seems they had quite a large family, 12, if they were all from the same family. Edmund born 1804 appears to be the eldest.
If anyone can give me some help on this I would be grateful.
