Hi Julie,
Nice to hear from you!
I have several James Merediths, including the one who died in 1840. Until we got his D.C. we didn't know we had one who died in a mining accident, though there must have been many of them.
The one in question was born in 1784 to Thomas Meredith & Ann (M.S.Brayne/Brain), he was married to Matilda Meredith and they had a son James born in 1819 who then married Sarah Lewis from Mitcheldean. James and Sarah went on to have nine children.
They all lived in Little Deans until the youngest, Alfred moved to Yorkshire, where he married Emma Butterworth in 1886.
I realise this is a bit long winded, but I just wanted to give you some information to work on to find out if you are my husband's cousin.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Best regards
Wee Ann
