Hi Alice,
this is spooky timing on your part ! :-)
I hadn't heard of Oldcroft until I "googled" it literally minutes ago while answering another query, just while you were posting this.

see map here

So as far as I can understand Oldcroft is between Viney Hill & Pillowell, both of which have Parish Churches as does nearby Parkend.
This map refers

All within Monmouth District.

I presume you mean George "Senior" head of this 1841 Household from above post ?

1841 Oldcroft
George Meek abt 1801 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest, Gloucestershire
Elizabeth Meek abt 1801 Dean Forest, Gloucestershire
Thomas Meek abt 1823 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest, Gloucestershire
Elizabeth Meek abt 1831 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest, Gloucestershire
William Meek abt 1833 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest, Gloucestershire
George Meek abt 1836 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest, Gloucestershire

Unfortunately) this site's PRs give TWO equally possible baptisms for George (taken at face value, both in Ruardean not far away. I cannot say which, if either, is the correct one for your George.

I also see Gill Webb has posted
"George Meek married Eliza Davis 1 Jun 1818 Cwmcarvan, Monmouthshire."
This is out of the Forest area - I'd hoped to find their Marriage Record on this site which may have given parents, but sadly no.

This Marriage is on LDS site but no further clues I can see ?

Perhaps Gill can help further, please ??
