James Meek 1807 who married Hannah Smart 1809 at Cheltenham 30 May 1831 were born and married prior to registration which began in 1837, it is therefore difficult without certificates to be 100% certain of accuracy but in my Family Tree, James Meek was the son of Cornelius Meek 1766/1827 and Elizabeth Taylor 1767, married Newland 19 Apr 1790 as Slowhands has shown.

James Meek 1807 & Hannah had 10 children.
Cornelius Meek & Elizabeth had 8 children.

My interest here is that Cornelius Meek & Elizabeth also had a son Berzillai Meek 1793 who married twice, with his first wife Elizabeth Jones 1798 they had 7 children including Ann 1822 Lea. Ann Meek 1822 married my 3rd cousin 4 times removed Enos Brain 1821.

Cornelius Meek 1766 was the son of James Meek 1729 and Susannah Tollisby. James Meek 1729 was the son of Basil Meek 1694 & Susannah Watkins 1695.
