Hi David

Sorry I missed this question dated 16th February amongst the others. Luckily I had an email from Rosie today via a friend, which caused me to look again at this posting.
Yes I have Hannah Meek baptised 22.8.1813 married to Moses Nelmes baptised 17.3.1805 at Hope Mansell 27.3.1830. Moses being the son of William Nelmes 1761/1812 & Susan Annetts 1770.

Before moving on to Moses Nelmes & Hannah Meek's son George. At some stage look at the posting Joseph Wilce 1853 and my response – as Moses Nelmes & Hannah Meek's daughter Charlotte married James Wilce and Joseph Wilce 1853 was their son.

Getting back to George Meek, I agree he married Esther Mansell, but I don't have a date. Son Timothy married Emily Cook with 4 children. Son Frederick married Laura Emily Marfell born 1.4.1873, daughter of Benjamin Marfell & Elizabeth Mason (picture on this web site) Providence Chapel (now a private house) 22.11.1890, I have the certificate if you wanted an email copy.

Frederick Nelmes & Laura nee Marfell had 10 children, the first Frederick 9.5.1892 married Ethel Blanche Marfell 1891 and had 2 children. Another of their offspring was Arnold Dennis Nelmes 1901 who married Edith Lilian Hillman and their daughter I have met several times, last time in October and due to meet again in July.

Apologies again for missing your question
