Hi Wilfred

I have George Meek in my family tree, he is "connected" but not related to me. I tend to follow the siblings & parents of spouses. In this case George Meek's brother Elijah married Ann Roberts, their daughter Rhoda married George Trigg, who is related to me, also George Meek's mother Sarah Tippins had a brother William amongst her 9 siblings, William married Letitia Jenkins and they had 11 children including Sarah who married Timothy Baldwin, who again is related to me. There are other "connections" leading to relations amongst the descendants of the other siblings of William Tippins.

Getting back to George Meek (son of Moses Meek & Sarah Tippins)I have his first marriage as being to Dinah Thomas, daughter of James Thomas, they married 24.8.1858 at the Forest Church, Drybrook. I wonder if Dinah Thomas & Emma Thomas were sisters, or at least related. The census for George & Dinah are :

1861 Census East Dean
George Meek 21 CM East Dean
Dinah 22 East Dean

1871 Census Trevethin
George Meek 30 CM Mitcheldean
Dinah 30 Littledean
Tryphena 14 Mitcheldean
William 3 Trevethin

There were in fact two George Meek's married 24.8.1858, the other George Meek, son of John married Mary Ann Coleman.
