40.1 Siblings of David Meaden

George and Jane Meadon had seven children, mainly in Shillingstone nr Blandford.:
  • 40.1.1 - Jane Eleanor Meaden (1810-1872)
    • Married John Knight (1819), gardener
    • They lived in Marylebone
    • By 1861, John had become a chemist, and they were living in Somers Town
    • By the end of the C19, Somers Town was a notorious slum area
    • No known children
  • 40.1.2 - George Meaden (1813-1855)
    • Born and died in Shillingstone, no other record found
  • 40.1.3 - Harriet (1814-1890)
    • Born in Stourpaine
    • Stayed with sister Jane in 1851, and her mother in 1861 (Blandford)
  • 40.1.5 - Charles Meaden (1820-1875)
    • Carpenter
    • Died in Lytchett Matravers, about 6 miles from Poole, Dorset
    • Poole is a market town on the south coast. My photos are here.
