John Meek, Clerk at Fort Pitt, Chatham
« on: Thursday 10 July 14 12:39 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about my 3 x Great Grandfather John Meek who, at the time of the baptism of his children, was a Clerk at Fort Pitt, Chatham. 

I cannot find his birth date but his children were Mary Ann Meek B 1811, Elizabeth Massett Meek B 1814, Sarah Meek B 1817, Charlotte Meek B 1819 (all baptised at St Mary, Chatham) and John Meek B 1820 (my 2 x Gt Grandfather). 

I have John Meek (senior) as marrying Mary Ann Inment Brayley at St Mary the Virgin in Dover in 1808 but someone else, who has this John Meek in their tree, has him as marrying Mary Ann Norwood in 1806 in Marylebone. 

I only have the online record of the marriage to Mary Ann Inment Brayley so cannot prove it but, according to their online tree, the person who has him marrying Mary Ann Norwood has no proof either.

I am wondering if there are any records for Fort Pitt which could give me the date of birth or any other information of my 3 x Great Grandfather, John Meek.

Do you have John & Mary Ann on census anywhere.  Do you have their deaths.

I can't see any appropriate paperwork on Fort Pitt on TNA website
