Thanks gibbo.

May need to check 1851 census.

I can't find William's birth so far.

Not the right one.

MEEK, JAMES - HOWES
GRO Reference: 1838 J Quarter in DOCKING UNION Volume 13 Page 69


1839 +/- 2 for James not found with matching mmn. ditto no William 1844 +/- 2.

 

[DaveHam9]

So far I can't find the family in 1851 census.

Sutton is in Yorkshire. Several possible places in North Yorkshire.

Something is not right. That is Norfolk not North Yorkshire.

They arrived on the Charlotte Jane

7 October 1851 ➜ 13 January 1852
CHARLOTTE JANE
London - Port Adelaide

Im just putting it all together cause there is 2 entries for each of them one dated 1851 and the other dated 1852.
I found this and then went to FMP for further info.
