Hi cant remember where Meliora comes into things ....Jenny Robinson is my mothers 2nd cousin and she has been helpfull with my research, My ancestry on my mothers side is very interwined with both the Middletons and the Reeves familys originally from Gayton in Northamptonshire and they has been a fair amount of inter marriage between the two familys on the 1841 census both my gggg grandfathers are on the same census living in the same road that is my greatgrand mothers grand father and my great grandfathers grandfather ..sorry it gets more complicated! my greatgrandparents were 1st cousins George reeve Middleton born 1871 Gayton and lizzle Reeve Jenkins born 1871 Camberwell. Georges mother and lizzles mother were sisters( Mary anne middleton nee Reeve and Martha Jenkins nee Reeve) both daughters of Richard and Anne Reeve ...Richard Reeves brother Williams daughter Maria Middleton nee Reeve had a son(joseph) who married one of the sisters (mary anne) therefore as a couple Josephs grandfather was the brother of his wifes father! imagine what that family tree looks like! Thankyou very much for your input i will look into the Dannetts and the Whitneys if you would like to know more about the Reeves please just say...Neil
