NOTE: I thought researching "my" Jones line thro Lydbrook and adjoining Ruardean was difficult. However having dipped into my Meek relations before, researching this post and reading other associated threads have shown just how difficult the Ruardean Meeks can be to untangle. If land-ownership was based on family population alone, it seems likely to me that the Meeks shall indeed inherit the Earth, or at least Ruardean... ;-)
