This is the 3rd time I have attempted to reply to this post, on both previous occasions I needed to look at my Family Tree for information, when I returned to my reply it was gone and I was returned to the Forum. I am now writing this in Word to paste as a reply.

Mrs Bruso (Word will not accept your version of the name !!)
My Family Tree is at variance with the information you have posted, but is in accord with the version portrayed by Slowhands.
I have the George William Meek who married Mary Ann Jordon on 12th Jul 1885 Bishopswood as being baptised 28 Jan 1861 Walford, the son of George Meek 1841 & Eliza Davis. You will note that this baptism is for George William Meek as per the marriage.

George Meek 1841 was the illegitimate son of Amelia Jane Meek 1821/1863 who was in turn the daughter of Joseph Meek 1771 & Hannah Baldwin 1779.
Amelia Jane Meek 1821 went on to marry Richard Goode 1818 on 26 Aug 1843 Ruardean.
