MEUGENS family who emigrated to everywhere!

[babu]

Mt great-great-grandfather Peter (or Pierre) Jospeh MEUGENS emigrated from Belgium to England about 1820-30, and founded a MEUGENS family which spread all over the world.  I'm looking for them, wherever they are, and trying to link them all together - so far every single MEUGENS I've found outside Belgium is a descendant of PJM.
And, of course, any/all information about the Belgian side of the MEUGENS  family would be enormously welcome.

Here is a marriage reference to a Meugens

http://www.city.victoria.bc.ca/archives/archives_vit.shtml

Groom's Last Name Groom's First Name Bride's Last Name Bride's First Name Date Married Place Reference
Fairbairn  Archibald M.D. 
Meugens  Norah H.M. 
1934.09.12  Victoria, BC 
Tim 1934.09.13,06 - 15,13 

This could be Mary Isobel Watson and family in the 1901 Canadian Census. Looking at the actual census John Watson was born in England and immigrated to Canada in 1895, Mary Jane Watson was born  in Ireland and immigrated in 1900, the children were all born in England and immigrated in 1900. If you would like to look at the actual census let me know if you need help.

You may already have this above information but if you would like the information from the death registrations (maiden names, next of kin, etc.) you could join the BC mailing list at Rootsweb. There are a lot of very helpful people. All the Vital Statistics information is available for only the cost of photocopying if you can find someone who is going to the archives anyway.

Good luck and hopefully some of the above will be of interest to you.

Hello

Archibald M D Fairbairn was an artist in BC and you can find some of his paintings and photos referenced in the BC Textual Records site

He died in California

This Archibald Fairbairn is quite a bit older than Norah so perhaps she married a son with the same name. I guess it is also possible that she married the Archibald listed above. An obit for the death above would help sort it out. You also may want to see if someone can help you  with an marriage announcement for the marriage of Norah and Archibald.

Good luck
