John was born about 1876. He is the son of James Meredith and Susan Eddy. [1]
In the 1881 census John (aged 5) is recorded as living at home (Sithney, Helston, Cornwall) with his father James (aged 34), mother Susan (aged 32), brothers James (aged 3) and Watkin (aged 10 months) and sisters Elizabeth A (aged 10) and Catherine (aged 6) [2]
in the 1881 census the surname is recorded as Meredeth rather than Meredith. The presence of Watkin - an unusual name - confirms the same family in my eyes
