Facts so far

19th April 1894, marriage in the Westbury on Severn registry office

Name: James Meek
Name: Emily Bennett
Year of Registration: 1894
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Westbury On Severn
County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 6a
Page: 429

Family names :-
Robert James Thomas John and Albert

Scenario 1

James "X" adopts the surname MEEK , then marries and tree becomes
established as MEEK

Scenario 2

James is born a MEEK.

So.....

Your belief is Scenario 1, so what I'd like to do is establish more about
Emily BENNETT, in the hope that it leads us to James and his family.
From this we may be able to narrow down the crime or myth.

Do you have the Marriage Certificate ?
If yes , does it contain more information, ages of Jame and Emily ?
(maybe just of full age or similar !)
does it name witnesses to the marriage ?
does it give any addresses for teh bride or groom ?
any hint at occupation of James / Emily or their parents ?
Had Emily been married before ?
Were either Widowed ? ( might be a hint of murder !)

If no, then I would urge you to get it !

Dont give up, you may be surprised that from a small amount of information and number of
deductions can lead to a very full Tree :-)
