This is quite an old thread so you may find more recent info if you search for "Enos Meek" or his father "Richard Vaughan Meek" (1823-1880). Though to be fair most of us researching the Meeks of Drybrook and surrounding areas have gone quiet of late (in this forum) and may well have most of what we have been looking for!
Enos was one of the many first cousins of my great-grandfather James Meek (1847-1918).

I note that you have information that George and Mary Meek had 9 children of which 4 died. As they are part of my family tree I would be interested in finding the source of this information as it could help me in my research.

I have in my possession a roughly written Family Tree which shows a William Meek, son of George and Mary Meek, married to an Elizabeth Davis, daughter of George Davis, and having a son Cyril George Meek born after the 1911 census. The son had two siblings whose birth dates I can't mention. Hope this helps.
