John Meeks (17 October 1839 – 2 May 1899) was an English-born Australian politician. He was born at Ashton-under-Lyne in Lancashire to bricklayer William Meeks and Julia Bromley. Around 1861 he married Mary Pickup, with whom he had seven children. He migrated to Brisbane in 1862 and soon moved to Sydney, where he worked for the Australian Gaslight Company. He established his own smelting works, which he ran until 1880, and also served on Sydney City Council from 1879 to 1892. In 1885 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Glebe, but he was defeated in 1887. Meeks died at Forest Lodge in 1899.[1] References1. ^{{cite web |title = Mr John Meeks (1839 - 1899) |work = Former Members |publisher = Parliament of New South Wales |year = 2008 |url = http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/247a6146ca480310ca256e4700146dee?OpenDocument |accessdate = 7 July 2015 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20150707101433/http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/247a6146ca480310ca256e4700146dee?OpenDocument |archivedate = 7 July 2015 |df = dmy-all}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-nsw-la}}{{s-bef|before=Michael Chapman}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Glebe | years=1885–1887 | alongside=William Wilkinson}}{{s-aft|after=Michael Chapman}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Meeks, John}} 4 : 1839 births|1899 deaths|Members of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly|19th-century Australian politicians |
