We hope you may be of some more assitance please.
Several months of research, a trip to the area with another planned this weekend (thanks for the information on The Morse) and a few hours on this excellent site (& several others) and our result is that Mary Bennett and Thomas Meek are not the likely parents to Moses Meek (as you suggested) married to Anne Braine (parents of Beriah b1809 m to Tryphena )as the IGI record that their Moses died in infancy in 1779.There is a record on the IGI of 2 other Thomas Meeks with wives named Mary around this time however I cannot establish a direct link. I have trawled through all the parish records on the FoD site and have identified a few other members to the family which is very exciting however we can't find a way to establish our next direct family line.Do you have any other suggestions on where we can go from here? Having spent too many hours (according to my wife after a recent operation to remove my wisdom teeth) researching this any help would be very much appreciated .
kind regards
Nigel
