Jabez MEEK born 1865 Ruardean

I'm looking for information for my father in law about Jabez Meek, his grandfather. I know that his father was Elijah and that he had sisters Ruth and ? Rhoda and brother Jonah. I would like to know who Jabez married. I believe he worked as a collier from the age of 14 until the age of about 70, that is all
