Barzillai MEEK- Speculative lineage (General)

Hi Robert

I think my Barzillai Meek could be the same one as yours. My Barzillai was also a lime burner and had a daughter called Ann Meek. I am a descendent of Ann Meek. I see Eliza had an Ann Meek as a witness at her marriage.

I don't have any knowledge of an Eliza Meek but it could be my Ann's older sister. My Ann Meek was born in 1822 in Lea. Her parents were Barzillai Meek and Elizabeth Jones. Details of their marriage from the GFSH marriage index. Barzillai Meek of the Hundreds of St Bravails and Elizabeth Jones of the Hundreds of St Bravails who married 12 June 1819 in Mitcheldean. It is possible that Eliza could be their first child. Barzillai's first wife Elizabeth died in 1837 and Barzillai married again to Hannah Cowmeadow in 1842.

Do you think we have a Barillai Meek in common?

Regards

Jenny
