Hi Long shot here. I have traced the meeks family from doddington to crawshawbooth lancs in 1911 census. My grandma rosina was born there. the youngest of the meeks family. She always said she lived mostly with the Jones family of Parrock House in that area, and mr. jones could have been a doctor. I have a bible my grandma recieved from Mrs. jones as a child so know they existed but jones being a common name dont know where to look for them
