Meyrick Family Bible, Margam Dear Gethin, My response to your message is not to give you some positive information about a possible descendant, for which I apologise, but to comment on the fact that this Meyrick family is often confused with one that I am related to. Without going in to details as to why I have had to unravel the information suffice it to say that claims, particular from a US subscriber to Ancestry and a few others using that information, confuse the families of Howell and Mary Meyrick and that of Lewis and Elinor/Elenor Meyrick. The problem arises because of the birth of two Meyrick boys who were given the name Lewis in the Margam area within two years of each other. The father of Daniel Meyrick was Lewis Meyrick born during the Dec Qtr 1840, Neath Vol. 26, p 386 to Lewis and Elinor/Elenor Meyrick. The other Lewis Meyrick boy was born in Dec 1838 and registered during the Mar Qtr 1839, Neath Vol. 26, p 405 under the surname Mayrick, whose parents were Howell and Mary Meyrick. This family did not have a son called Daniel although it would have seemed logical since Mary’s maiden name was Daniel. I have not followed Daniel Meyrick’s descent as they are not to be related to me so can’t help you trace any of them. Pity, as I could have helped you with the other family. I write this in case you get drawn into the discussion about which family it is supposed to be!
