hi,

your query about Arthur Meek, don't get mixed up with Arthur Bertram, born 1889 and died 10.11.1891. I think the one you are after was born 1902 & died 14.1.75, he married Muriel Meek(yes another Meek) who died 27.10.1962, she lived just up the field from where Arthur lived,

best of luck Derek

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.

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.
