Meakins in the Potteries1800 onwards
I am a Meakin and have always lived in Stoke on Trent, so has my father Stephen Meakin and so did his George Stephen Meakin, my grandfather died at the age of 55 and was a coal miner living in Tunstall with his wife Florence. He died when my father was only 17.To my knowledge we have no connection to the J & G Meakin pottery industry.Before my grandfather I have no trace of my family tree at all.I believe the Meakin name originated from Ireland and while the pottery industry started to flurish workers came over from Ireland.Any starting block for me to establish my family tree would be appreciated.
