Hello, <<< Can anyone tell me more on Clarissa Meek who m:28-09-1853 William James Dunbar Moodie. I suspect she might be related to other Meeks that went to Greytown RSA. I wonder if she is related to Elizabeth Meek of Enfield, England who m:26-11-1858 to James Frederick Markham ?. >>> I have just answered my own question, something I have wondered about for a long time: John Joseph Meek + Clarissa Cutbush had about 6 adopted children it seems. Two of these children were Clarissa Meek b:26-01-1836 + Elizabeth Meek b:26-01-1836. Not only are Clarissa + Elizabeth Meek sisters, they are twins !!!. In my records I already Elizabeth Meek's b. date as b:26-01-1836. Elizabeth Meek m. James Frederick Markham, my line, their one son Frederick Edmund Markham m. Elsie Elizabeth Moodie. This also should mean that this Clarissa Meek b:26-01-1836 must be the same person who has eluded many (???) it seems so far, who m:28-09-1853 to William James Dunbar Moodie, Esq. J.P. (b:13-11-1827 at Port Francis, Cape Colony, South Africa). In fact James Frederick Markham had a dg named Clarissa Mary Markham. This is a most interesting link to be found for me. It would explain why James F. Markham and 3 of his sons went to Rhodesia having closeness to the Moodie family, his wife's sister married a Moodie !!!. I think is the first time this link has been established.... - S.K.M. - [!!!] =======================
