Hi Wilma,

It isn't clear from your post when James was born, but this is the 1851 transcript:

There was also this family there in 1851:

Hi Neil

Thanks so much.   Didn't have an exact date of birth for James - only from later census but this is right family.

Again many thanks

Hello zeel
You seem to be interested in James Meridew born about 1805. James is my great great grandfather. I was wondering if you have found out who is mother and father are. I suspect that it is a lady called Jane Meridew but I have not been able to find any documentary evidence of this. I also think that his father is a man called William Naish but since according to his marriage certificate he did not know who his father was then we will probably never know for sure.
Regards
Peter
