Meaden family - South Africa
« on: Saturday 14 April 18 19:41 BST (UK) »
Kindly assist with any info re; Wilf & Carrie Meaden. They had daughters Val and Pam.

I recall visiting them as a child about 1958 when they resided in Springs Transvaal. then they relocated to Welkom, Orange Free State. Upon retirement I think they moved to Pietermaritzburg, Natal. Carries's maiden name was Spence.

I accompanied my parents to Val's wedding somewhere in Johannesburg and her Husband drove a beautiful Studebaker Silver Hawk.

Apologies: I spelled Meaden as Meadon

If you click on "profile" in the toolbar across the top of the page you can see an option on the left hand side of the page "Show Posts". This will show you every post you have made on rootschat, which you can then click on to access and comment on further.  :)

Can't help with your specific query about the MEADONs, but please remember to be careful not to mention by name anyone who may still be living as it is against rootschat policy.  ;)

Hi Peter,
Here's a screenshot of what your profile page should look like (when you click on "profile"). You can see your previous posts if you click on "show posts". Hopefully this helps.  ;)
