Hi Gerry M
If you refer to Bertram Leonard Meek who married Beatrice Annie Mustoe, I would be interested in being in touch. Bertram Leonard Meek would have been my 4th cousin 3 times removed

The Bertram Meek referred to was the son of John and Jane Meek, not the one you mention.

Hi GerryM
Having established the correct Bertram John Meek, I am also related to this Bertram Meek, he was my 4th cousin 3 times removed, so we are related. The details I have is that he was born 22.2.1894, married Annie Maria Knilands in 1923 after having moved to Newcastle. I have no detail of the line beyond that point and would like to hear from you.
I can go back a further 7 generations from John Meek & Jane Meek. I would be particularly interested in tracing back through the parents of Jane Meek who married John Meek 25.12.1884. I knew her father was Moses, from the marriage detail, but I have a number of Moses Meek's of an appropriate age and wonder which one it was, do you have this detail.

Hi Jim Ashton,
Bertram John Meek was my father's brother - he moved to Newcastle and married there, though I always thought that his wife's name was Mona. That apart, he had three children named Bill (I think), Margaret and Derek. I know nothing more of the subsequent line except that the Jessica Meek(see archive message) is the great-granddaughter of Bertram and so the granddaughter of either Bill or Derek as I believe Margaret had no children.
I have just started researching my family tree so find your information very useful - I will try and find out which Moses Meek was the father of my grandmother, Jane. Adding to the fun is the fact that there are Meeks on both sides of my mother's family as well.
Gerry Meek.
