Title: Looking for descendants of Vera A. MATTHEWS (nee MEIKLE)
Post by: JMann on Sunday 31 July 11 07:22 BST (UK)
I am looking for descendants of  Vera A. MATTHEWS (nee MEIKLE)

Vera was born in 1913 June Qtr. Medway Kent England and was the daughter of John Boyd Meikle  b. 1890 and Nellie Featherstone.
Vera married George Matthews in 1934 in Strood Kent.

I know the Meikle family were living at  2 New Street in Chatham Kent in April 1923.

Any help locating family members would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Judy

If the family were C of E and remained in the area then they may appear in the online parish registers http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

There is also now a lot of later dater at http://www.freebmd.org.uk where you can search on maiden name of mother to determine any likely children.

Full names of the MEIKLE girls might be useful

I can see one likely daughter from this marriage.

I won't give details as she is probably still alive and it against Rootschat policy to post details of anyone still living.

Thank you Casalguidi,  the FreeBMD is where I got my information about the births of two known daughters.
