Extract from E-mail
---------------------------------
I found out about your site from Paul Walton who I was in contact with a few years ago in connection with my Great Great grandmother Agnes McMeiken and my grandfather Albert (son of Agnes) McMeiken. I notice you have a John Thomas married to Agnes McMeiken which as I understand it, married Agnes sometime after her return from the USA where she had worked in service in Michigan. She had returned with my grandfather and it seems she had become pregnant by a member of the household where she had been working. It s said it was the son of the owner though I have no proof of this.
Over time Albert seems to have adopted his step father s surname and became know as Albert McMeiken Thomas, though he is married Margaret Wilson as just Albert McMeiken. This was kept secret until it was uncovered fairly recently by myself and cousins trying to follow our line. My father had no inkling of this until I showed him my Uncle s birth certificate. It was clear from my Uncle s birth certificate that he was christened John Thomas McMeiken although the family passed off this apparent error as an aberration by the registrar! My grandfather/grandmother were recorded as Albert & Margaret McMeiken parents. Interestingly, by the time my father was born (in 1936), my grandparents had become Albert/Margaret Thomas.
It s fairly clear that my grandfather was illegitimate and he has gone to some lengths to cover over the fact. I wondered if you ve come across in your search any information that may point to some McMeiken connections in Michigan (in particular Bessemer) where my grandfather is supposed to have been born.
