Hi malvickery

I note that Slowhands has established the Meek - Welsh connection. However, in your posting you mentioned that you thought your descendants went back to William Meek 1811 whose father was Joseph Meeek 1782:

Joseph Meek 1782 & Hannah Cooke 1792 did indeed have a son William born 1811, baptised 12 May 1811, but I believe he married Jane Knight born 1815 at Newland 14 Sep 1841. From Census records you will see that they did not have children :

1851 Census Ruardean
William Meek 39 Collier Ruardean
Jane 34 Walford
William 8 Ruardean shown as son, but probably nephew as in 1861

1861 Census Ruardean
William Meek 50Coal Haulier Ruardean
Jane 46 Walford
William Meek nephew 18 Carter Ruardean

1871 Census Ruardean
William Meek 59 Coal Haulier Ruardean
Jane 57 Walford
Tom Meek nephew 7 East Dean

1881 Census Ruardean
William Meek 73 Coal Haulier Ruardean
Jane 73 Walford

The William Meek nephew aged 8 in 1851 is in fact William Meek 1842 son of Richard Meek 1819 (brother of William Meek 1811) & Ann Cloudley 1820. William 1842 married Jane Davis born 1847 Ireland. William Meek 1842 & Jane nee Davis emigrated to USA 1882 :

1871 Census East Dean
William Meek 28 Collier East Dean
Jane 26 Ireland
Mary Ann 3 East Dean
Jane 1 East Dean
Richard Meek 12 Brother Collier East Dean
Eliza 10 Sister East Dean
