Betty Meatyard or Meteyard or Meechard
« on: Sunday 15 February 09 15:09 GMT (UK) »
Betty lived from c1759 -1809 in the border area of Dorset and Somerset, and had several illegitimate children. Has anyone researched the Meatyard family?

I was given a wealth of information from a researcher from the Guild of One-Name studies... Caroline Meatyard but you would have to contact her via the site. Sadly I seem to have lost the orignal emails she sent me.

However my line comes down through one of her children and the belief is that her children were possibly from the same father as she never claimed parish relief for them so she was obviously getting money from somewhere....and the area is a very small one.




I was given the family tree back down to its roots in 1300's in Stour Provost.
