Hi janet,,i dont believe Robert meredith is a member of thomas and Anns family as this would put his birth about 3 yrs before marriage,and if he was transported to the colonies in 1809 can he be the same Robert that marries in 1813...I have been tracing the Merediths (my family tree) for a few years and have no records yet to connect this person to my tree ..
If i can help in anyway please feel free to ask....

Cheers Steve,
I always check your tree out on Ancestry.com.uk
I did not think he was a family member. This bloke in America has it all wrong. Thanks for confirmation.
The Merediths are my husbands relatives along with the Nicholls and Barnards and has spent many happy times in the Forest when young and says it's a magic place.

Cheers, will contact again if stuck, someone is bound to find the answer along with you.
