I live in New Zealand and doing research on one of the lines of Merediths. Ours had two brothers going to Samoa, we are looking for an Uncle of those boys called John who was married in West Derby, Lancashire and moved to live in West Macclesfield. He had a son
Samuel and samuel had several children. I think Samuel married a Nightingale and went to Passaic, Paterson where he had a mill and is listed as being a silk thrower. One of his grandchildren from his son Albert has kept in touch with our family but lost connection with the macclesfield family. I have found many on the Cheshirefreebmd of our family. My son is in London at the monment and if there are any Merediths who belong to this clan. Elizabeth is a sister of William, son of samuel, she never married, Frank and Fred were in the first world war and I found thier names on the honours boards and memorials in Macclesfield. in 1911 census the other children were
Harriet, Lillian, and Sarah Jane. If anyone has any knowledge at all of these familys and any stories my son who can be contacted on email while he is in london and I know he is so keen to find out about all of our relations. his email is
(*) His real name is Stephen. Thank you all. I enjoyed the photos of macclesfield and reading about the life they lived.
A couple of years ago I ordered a birth certificate online for a John Meredith and his will, but it turns out it cant be ours because his sons are born after that date. Another reason for our search is we have hit a wall as to the father and mother of John and Our Thomas who were born about 1803-1810 as few records cover these times.
