I will go back over this thread and will no doubt add some new information from Slowhands. But first I was scrolling through to find a reference to the fact that Julia was actually Julia Gough baptised as a base child to Charlotte :

Year: 1849
Month: Jan
Day: 7
Parents_Surname: GOUGH
Child_Forenames: Julia
Fathers_Forenames: [not stated]
Mothers_Forenames: Charlotte
Mothers_Surname:
Residence: Michel Dean
Occupation: [not stated]
Officiating_Minister: E. Machen Rector
Event: Baptism
Memoranda: base child of. In the Year 1849
Notes:
Register_Reference: P 220 IN 1/3
Page_Number: 91
Parish_Chapel: Mitcheldean

Noting that you are 2nd cousin 5 times removed from George Meek senior (1801) and knowing that we are related, I checked my relationship to this George Meek - I am his 2nd cousin 6 times removed.

Our details are the same, but I have one more child for George Meek & Elizabeth Harris - Elizabeth 1870 :

1871 Census East Dean
2597/23
George Meek 40 Coal Miner East Dean
Elizabeth 30 East Dean
George 11 East Dean
Timothy 8 East Dean
Tom 4 East Dean
Lucy 2 East Dean
Elizabeth 1 East Dean

Elizabeth is not with the family in 1881, so must have died.

PS Edit. Having gone back through the thread, I have to apologise to Slowhands, he did note that Julia was baptised Gough at the beginning. As anticipated I have added some new information from Slowhands from this thread, even though Julia is not technically related to me, she is of course connected.

An item of interest I can add is that Matilda Gough, sister of Charlotte Gough married Emanuel Meek 1824, brother of George Meek who married Charlotte. They married 1845 East Dean :

Adam Edwin Meek died in Pontypool 1924 :
