Hi Rachel,

No you have not contacted me befor. I know very little, infact only what I found on this sight about Leah Meredith. Leah was my husbands, Robert Cox, great grand aunt who married William Cox in 1874. My husbands name of Cox is not the Forest of Dean Cox.

Roberts mother was Gladys Nicholls of Cinderford, her mother was a Meredith. Gladys left Cinderford to live with an Aunt in Twickenham at the age of 14, she met her husband by chance in Twickenham when he came to the Aunts door selling insurance.

So in a round a bout way you are related to my husband in a distant way.

Thanks for writing, if I can shed any light elsewhere let me know.

Regards JANET in Tasmania Australia.

Wow, well Gladys you need to email Nathan who is Caroline's (Gr Aunt Lily) gr grandson I believe. Or Elwyn Walford who is her grandaughter Margaret's husband, Nathans mother.

I live in NZ and am Gr Aunt Lily's grand niece (I think), my grandfather John Henry James was her brother.
