Hi Groom and Rosie

I have now traced back to a Richard Meek born in East Dean c1824. Any ideas where I can find him.

Many thanks

David

Hi Skoosh

According to the 1911 census John was born in 1848/9 in Stapleton Glos. the  Freebmd site shows a John Meek born 1852 son of Richard Meek & Hannah  Harrison who married in 1848. The 1851 Census shows Richard born c1824 in EastnDean. Any ideas where I can look beyond that please.

Many thanks

David

Hi Groom

Good point, so I should be looking for a John Meek born 1852 in Stepleton son of a Samuel Meek. You mentioned a family tree on Ancestry, would this possibly have this information on it ?

many thanks

Hi Groom

I found a birth of John Meek in 1852 in Stapleton, son of Samuel Meek and Elvira, but I cannot find a marriage anywhere for these two ?

many thanks
