Hi Dennis

I have a George William Meek born 1861 in my Family Tree, I only have him as a “connected” person, not related. My main interest is the Marfell family but I do follow the parents & siblings of spouses, so the “connection” I have is as follows :

George William Meek born 1861 was the son of George Meek 1841 & Eliza Davies 1838. George Meek 1841 was the illegitimate son of Amelia Meek 1821/1863, before her 26.8.1843 marriage to Richard Goode.

In 1851 George is with his step father

Amelia Meek 1821 was the daughter of Joseph Meek 1771 & Hannah Baldwin and I have many connections from her siblings.

My main connection however is that one of the 7 children of Amelia Meek 1821 & Richard Goode was Amelia Goode 1852 who married George Reed, they had 7 children including Gertrude Helen Reed born 18.8.1880 who married William Ernest Marfell born Drybrook 29.4.1878.
