I am seeking information concerning the descendants of John McMeekan(e)
He was born in Ireland, probably Ulster, in 1857 to Irish parents Hugh and Mary McMeckan.
John worked as a blacksmith and married Emma Kelly.
They had 5 children:
Mary (b1882)
Thomas (b1883)
William (b1887)
James (b1889)
John (Jack)
John sailed to the Cape of Good Hope without his family aged 45 from Southampton on the Dunluce Castle in 1905 and was later joined by them on the Witswatersrand.
