My wife has MEEK ancestors on her Mother's side living in Dudley, Worcestershire 1861-1901 (I have found out so far?). William Meek gives his birthplace as Forest Of Dean, Gloucester. Please see details on my wife's website on her Paddock page:
http://www.freewebs.com/hinston/paddock.htm
I may have William and Ann Meek's marriage certificate and know who their Fathers were ? Please understand this may be wrong ?
No 107 St James's Church, Dudley, Worcestershire. 21st December 1856.
William Meek, Full, Bachelor, Engineer, Dudley, Charles Meek, Smith.
Ann Lee, Full, Spinster,-, Dudley, William Lee, Baker.
William and Ann signed X. Witnesses were: Samuel Sawer and Sarah (X) Lee.
I have seen an entry from IGI for a William Meek Ch 1835, but wondered if anyone is related, or has researched this Meek family ?

Thankyou for the information. I only received the marriage certificate this week and have not had time to research any further than the information on the website. I checked BMD for Emma's birth without success to confirm Ann Meek's maiden name. I suspect that the marriage I sent for is correct, but will send for a birth certificate of a listed child to confirm the maiden name. If you view the Meek details on the website you will see many died around 1880-1890's and so I suspect there are not many decendants from this family? I will update this posting and the website when I discover more.
Thanks again.
