It took many months and lots of hard work but Elizabeth Sophia Thomas who then became Elizabeth Sophia Briscoe born 1880 and married a Frederick Meek in 1897 and thus became Elizabeth Sophia Meek emigrated to New Zealand in 1920 with her son Leslie John Randolph Meek aged 17. After searching the New Zealand archives it says he became a school headmaster and retired in 1971. No date of death for him. On the 1911 census they are living in Quabbs Lane Drybrook. There is Frederick Meek (35), Elizabeth Sophia Meek (31), William Frederick Howard Meek (13) and Leslie John Randolph Meek (9) and when she emigrated 9 years later she just went with the youngest boy. No sign of the husband or the oldest boy. Can't find UK death records for them either. I am guessing that they both died in WW1 but after many searches of WW1 records I can't find either so it is purely a guess.
