Hi Joy

There was a James MEEK and Jane PAGE having children at Natimuk in the
1870s and 1880s following the birth of earlier children in SA.

A William MEEK and wife Mary DAVIS are buried in the Dartmoor Cemetery in
1934 and 1909 respectively.

If your James MEEK is any connection I would be very interested.
